I'm not sure if the concept is really for a single user. It's more like you get to connect with people within geographically-defined perimeters.
I am saying for it to succeed as multi-user, it needs to be useful first for a single user.

#45Very cool idea. My only worry is "Anonymous Mode". Anonymity IME usually results in conversations descending into vitriol, snark or libel.

#47No web version? No sale. WTF is wrong with these social apps!?!? Who wants to chat on a tiny screen when they have a computer available. Especially for local apps that function only when you're home.
I mean, every phone has a camera built-in and you don't have to worry about drivers or anything like that.

So presumably this will be an evil app that reinforces Google monopoly by using Play Integrity?
What else would you suggest for an app with this concept?

One obvious feature would be to provide geo fenced Wikipedia or news feed. Like what is the highest rated/longest Wikipedia article in the area. Or maybe what's the 3 top radio stations and a link to them. There is plenty of local content that Google does not surface
