Stop cloning Yo's UI
It's from the same company. Edit: oh no it isn't! (thanks!)
The app you see under "more from developer" isn't the original Yo.

It might make sense to define the area based on population density rather than just geography.
That's an excellent idea, I was thinking about how to fix this problem. I think starting with a radius of 5 miles and increasing it until users can see the chatrooms from the closest 100 people would solve all that.
Yes, but you probably want some cut off. It might be better to see a shorter list of people who are reasonably close rather than 100 people who might not even be in the same country.

#14I would use this. I could see it really catching on.

Hmm, I see your point, but isn't it better to have content on the app with people a bit farther away instead of "no content of people close-by."

It depends really on what the purpose of your app is.
I would normalise your data somehow against a population map, so distance in sparsely populated areas is weighted differently to dense urban areas.

Didn't we have this discussion back in Microsoft vs Adobe? I seem to recall that the conclusion was that look and feels were not protected by copyright.

#19No iOS version in case anybody is curious.
That seems stupid. This is an app that needs all the network effect it can get.

#20I've been using this for around 10 minutes now and it seems fairly buggy, the main ones I've hit are:
* Messages appear in the wrong conversation, then move back to the correct one on close/open. * I get notified about new chats that then don't appear in the list
