#2We built this app to dogfood our location tracking platform. Places visited, commutes taken, walks to lunches, drives to meetings … really the timeline of movement from place to place. In the end, we had built a number of useful backend libraries in NodeJS and frontend libraries in NextJS. Sharing that out to re-use and re-purpose.

#3Interesting from a tech perspective, but I would change "business assets" in the title with "employees" or "workforce".
This is tracking people and their actions, not tracking "stuff".

The README alone is excellent, well done

#5This is a great example of how one can layer an application on top of HyperTrack location event streaming platform to do display useful data. Once you have integrated the mobile SDK and started generating location events, you can start creating applications just like this one to provide richer experiences.

good point, the workforce seems to be the main use case. especially, because it provides an expense report feature

came across this neat repo: https://github.com/matiassingers/awesome-readme. Great set of READMEs worth looking at when writing your own

I thougt it sounded very professional since tracking employees could be illegal while assets are fair game.

Does Uber track the ride or the driver? App users are carrying out work and the business wants to track work. Asset track and telematics are product categories used in the industry where work is on the move. This app belongs in the same bucket.
