This, but on an Apple Watch, would be the first useful app on that device.

Pretty cool side project (I assume it is) by Triposo. The number 2 travel app in the world (they try harder). Beautifully designed, and with their database it's effective as hell.
Really cool for people that don't want things on a silver plater but want to explore (like me). What were you thinking @dosinga and @ezelhaar ?
@milann @ezelhaar Thanks. We had this hackathon @triposo a while ago and one of the things we wanted to play with, was the concept of apps where the main interaction is starting the app. Walter is that concept applied to the travel guide and it does away with almost all complexity of our main app and reduces it to a travel compass.
Am I missing something, but there is no way to check out the name or details of the places on the dial?
@torabayashi no, you are not missing anything. The idea is that you have to really go there to see what's there!
But isn't it hard to find the place without real directions? I mean pointing the phone to a direction won't probably be that helpful in a crowded city..
@lancescadden side projects are the new marketing tools, I'm sure @seikatsu can attest ;)
It is a side project to yes, but it's also a serious attempt to make a different kind of travel app. One that let's you explore yourself. We'd love to get some user feedback because we have plans for an update and would like to hear what people think of the 1.0 version.
@ezelhaar it's a really really cool first version, I will try it out on a bicycle through Amsterdam this afternoon. Also, I love you can use it without an internet connection.
