Nice. How much delay is there on the scooter/bike location?

Data is currently refreshed every 3 minutes, and I'm working to increase the frequency further.

The site is down now so I can't really try it (oh no!), but I'd love something like this. I have no brand loyalty, and I hate switching between apps.

Some feature requests:

    * Better mobile support
    * Filtering (for example, I don't want bikes.. just scooters)
    * Maybe I'm alone on this, but I'd rather color coding show the company rather than the battery
    * Is there a way to deep-link to the specific app's "Ride" screen?

Clever way to get referrals!

Thanks! I just brought the site back up so please give it another shot. And please let me know what specific issues you're seeing on mobile.

Filtering is definitely in the works, and I'll consider changing the color coding to be brand (or indicate both in the markers somehow). On mobile, clicking the brand name should open the app (unless its not installed, in which case it should take you to the install page for the app). I haven't found a way to link to the specific vehicles in the apps though.

This is exactly why Bird and Lime, et al will be very low profit margin businesses. No brand loyalty, no differentiation, lots of competition.

Why do you want to see the company as a priority if you have no brand loyalty?

Based on these features you might like Migo (https://www.getmigo.com/). Not affiliated with them in any way, just a user of the app.

Cool Show HN though! Can now check scooter locations in the browser, as well as on mobile.
