I also got a geolocation error even though I allowed location access. Could benefit from allowing the user to set a location as a fallback (or override). FF 72 (Ubuntu)

what are you using for backend and real time connections?
It's very easy to impersonate another user right now by just using the same name. It would be great if the first 5 chars of a hashed IP fingerprint (or something similar) could be shown next to the name as a kind of ID to prevent that kinda thing from happening.
This is cool! I had been thinking about creating something similar but I couldn't solve this problem: Given a radius of 5 miles and three users in a geographic straight line, each 4 miles from each other. User 1 and user 2 are in the same radius, user 2 and three are in the same radius but user 1 and 3 are not in the same radius. Therefor user 1 and 3 will only see "half" the conversation (which would obviously be co…
Obviously, you'd want smaller segments in areas with a high user density, and larger segments in areas with low user density.
You could generate segments with something like EM clustering. You probably wouldn't want continuous segment recalculation, or two people could be split mid-conversation when neither of them had moved.
