dropdrop lets you leave messages and photos where you travel, for others to discover. Download dropdrop for iOS, and connect with your local community.
Hi guys!
Founder of dropdrop here. I'm excited to hear everyone's feedback on our messaging app. We really wanted to connect online communication with the real world by associating messages and photos to a real place and time.
We have an extensive road map laid out for upcoming features, including video and the ability to pick up and move drops.
It's a very open platform, so the implications for use are really up to the individual. We've seen people leave surprise messages for their friends at a place they know they frequent. We've seen tips for locals dropped at different establishments. And we're working out rules for an upcoming scavenger hunt using drops.
For the technically inclined, you can think of drops as Bluetooth beacons without the hardware. You determine the duration and radius of each drop you create. We've seen accuracy up to 10 meters.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you all! Ask me anything!
@yuejn@craigcaruso@orliesaurus Yes, but that's specific for scavenger hunts. dropdrop is much more than a scavenger hunt. Although it could be used the same way as geocaching, it's not intended to solely be used for finding nearby waypoints.
@orliesaurus@craigcaruso That Hello Lamp Post project is pretty cool. I can see how this reminds you of it. That whole sense of discovery and surprise is really what we're after.
