24 alternatives to hugpoint.io

I built hugpoint.io to solve a specific problem: when a group tries to decide where to meet, the first person to suggest somewhere implicitly anchors the decision around their own location. Everyone else agrees to avoid friction. Someone ends up with a disproportionate commute. Nobody mentions it. The tool calculates each person's reachable zone using real transit data (not straight-line distance), finds the intersection, and surfaces Google Places results inside that overlap — ranked by a Fairness Score that measures how equally reachable a venue is for everyone in the group. Technical…

    For the past few months, I've been working on a website that answers two different questions: - Where in my city have the best travel times to all the things and people I care about? - Given a listing, how far is it from all the things and people I care about? Personally this was fueled by my own frustrations when I was apartment hunting in NYC. I was frustrating to have to juggle so many Google Maps tabs when I was evaluating a listing, and it was also annoying to not have full confidence that I was even searching in the right places. I wanted to be close to work, a Trader Joe's, and a…

    I built Settle It to make small group decisions easier. You type something like “Dinner: Pizza or Thai?” and it turns into a shareable poll. No accounts, no setup. Just a quick way to settle everyday decisions.

    Hello! I built a map that generates a heatmap of the most convenient meeting spots between several people, based on public transit travel times. Move the markers anywhere in the map; all cities with sufficient transit data are supported!

    Over the past week I built a project to let people self-host an entire maps stack so they don't have to send data to the big G. Right now it includes a base map, geocoder and directions server. Currently only bicycle directions are supported, and I'm only hosting tiles for Seattle because I'm unemployed and can't afford to host data for the whole planet. Check it out! https://maps.ellenhp.me/ https://github.com/ellenhp/headway Ultimately I'd like to really focus on transit routing (not implemented) but I'll probably throw a driving mode in there too.

    I built this after the usual tussle with friends about where to meet. I tried every other meet-in-the-middle app, but they weren’t practical because they relied solely on geographic midpoints. The centre can be a 45-minute trip for one person and a 10-minute trip for another, depending on the route. Equidistance uses the Google Maps Distance Matrix API to test a grid of candidate points and picks the one that minimises the difference in travel times. It then searches for actual venues (cafes, pubs, etc.) near that point and scores them by fairness. It supports public transport, driving and…

    Hi HN! https://flat.social is a web video meeting app for organising fun online meetings & social events. Each participant can move around and talk with others in their proximity. Here is a quick demo if you wanna see it in action: https://youtu.be/Y2yH3twjrx4 I’ve been on it solo for around a year right now. Tech used is Next.js, Typescript, PIXI.js on the front-end and Node, Mediasoup, Socket.io and Matter.js (physics engine) on the backend. Feel free to jump in into the demo room (https://flat.social/f/Flat.Social-Demo) to say hi, I’ll be…

    I recently built an iOS app called Settld: Group Restaurant Finder that helps friends decide where to meet by finding restaurants that are roughly equally far from everyone’s location, and displaying information about them. We’ve all been in chaotic group chats where no one can agree on where to eat — this app cuts through that by calculating a “sweet spot” for the group. For 2 people, it’s the midpoint. For 3 people, it’s the circumcenter. For 4–6 people, it uses a minimum enclosing circle approach (Welzl’s algorithm). It then shows the top 15 nearby options so there’s no more “where do we…
