god no! not another sidecar. though the repo seems legit, good for folks building real-time dispatch.

@kishanht ridesharing is a relatable metaphor for any two sided network with moving supply on one side, being matched with dynamic demand on the other.
@Charles_tse thanks for going through the Github repos. this is indeed a generic on-demand platform kickstarter.

#5interesting, I heard from a bank with field reps that they wanted to Uberify. nearest reps get appointments on-demand, and then make their way to customer with live tracking. no need to show up at the branch office. what's the most unexpected use case you have seen?

ah that's interesting. we've seen that sales people don't like being tracked, they like to perform. service teams on the other hand like stuff being automated and get more efficient. thanks for the insight though.
most unexpected i have seen is volunteers on election day visiting polling booths through the day.

1. You don’t have to pay Google :-)
2. Google packages the on-device navigation and places experience for ridesharing, while this repo is focused on the location tracking aspect and how that experience is managed in the cloud.
