Super excited that we've been hunted! We'll be commenting throughout the day, any questions just let us know :) Would love all your feedback so we can make Sup even better.
@richpleeth@supmenow Sorry but how's this different from "Nearby Friends" in the Facebook app? And what exactly does "Sup" do that makes it "creep-free"? Thank you
@huntergray@supmenow Hi there, you can't see a friends exact location on a map just if they are in your area which can be up to 25minutes away or as little as within 5minutes. It's not directional so you can't actually track friends. We also have a hide button, so you can just tap and take yourself off the radar.
I think this would work best as an invisible app.
If I got a FB Message/SMS/Whatsapp (eventually) when my friend was 5 mins walk away I could message straight away.
I wouldn't need this as a separate app I don't think.
How does this compare to something like Drop Messages ? (which I also think could be better used as an invisible app)
@bentossell Notifications are super important for us so we're working hard on that to ensure they are relevant but we've had some great feedback of users using Sup when they are in new locations to see who's around
@richpleeth yeah I understand that but for me it would be more relevant to have as a message then can message my friends straight from there.
Also how does it compare to Drop Messages?
@bentossell You can message your friends straight from notifications on Sup.
Drop message is really interesting but is rather passive and not constantly on like Sup so you get alerts without checking in or posting an instagram photo.
@bentossell@richpleeth Some features are similar i.e we notify you when a friend is nearby without you having to do anything. We are big believers in allowing you to use the app without using the app or "invisible apps" as you put it.
What would you like to see added to Sup ?
@jcampbell_05@richpleeth well I just think it could run in the background and text me when certain friends are close. You can have the app to set up the preferences e.g. only tell me mark is close on a Friday because I wont get to work the next day etc
I already have too many ways to message my friends. Honestly I don't need another one. So why not take this to where people are already using messaging on a HUGE scale?
Looks a lot like a previous start-up of mine http://joinproxy.com | People really didn't like how we showed ~distance away- People really enjoy their privacy -love how you group them into circles around distance from you. If I may, a feature we placed in Proxy was an ephemeral AIM style status messages to let your friends know what you are doing, when and where. Where we failed I hope you succeed! If you need any advice Email me at wills@joinflash.com - All the best
@williamb3ntley@joinflash I hear you, sometimes mothers (or fathers) for instance would love the opportunity to have lunch, having been invited to a local cafe. so whilst there is a privacy issue, this offers a great get out of the house solution also, for some. And the cafe could offer a special for the small group.
@kevinmineyours ha did you just ask me out on a coffee date through confusing code words? Also @producthunt it is absolutely inexcusable that when someone clicks on a notification about a comment it doesn't take you directly to where that new @ comment sits in the page. -1 ph, -1...
