3 questions: 1) wont this lead to everyone standing at the same positions? 2) isnt this useless at peak times ( exactly how often can you choose where to stand) 3)isn't this simple enough to build it yourself rather than pay someone else to do? PS:i see that you and your sister are trying to build a business, rather than making an interesting project. If so, your site looks rather amateuristic
1. If that becomes the case, we'll be rich ;)
2. Do you mean because you're running to catch a train? Usually I find myself pacing back and forth not knowing where to stand.
3. The data for this app is not publicly available so my partner and his sister had to run around the city to every station and mark down every exit and stairwell. The whole process of checking, rechecking, and confirming took them ~2 months
re: website. We hadn't planned on releasing this just yet but a major newspaper had a blog post that ran early this morning so we had to hack this together :) It'll get better in time!
