I'm doing a new Show HN[1] as we have now made this open source, and got some interest in comments in the past few days. We initially built this app for some friends in a co-living community - they were using pen and paper to track who's attending lunch - but it was error-prone. First I suggested a shared Google Sheets or Calendar, but that was also messy to maintain. Eventually, I developed something just for them. They used it for a couple of years, they loved it and wanted to use it for more things, too. So I took all the learnings from what was now the MVP, and with some friends we now…

I have been working on a new mountain biking app for the last year called Hangtime. It is a free ride computer app that uses a smartphone's GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, and altimeter to track a mountain bike ride. After recording a ride, the user can go back and see their performance in turns, jumps, climbs, etc. Below is a video that shows off some of the app's features. https://youtu.be/TXiwzf-UJhQ I wasn't sure I could get the performance required from Flutter/Dart vs. native as a one hour ride generates well over a million data points from all of the sensor data.…

Hello HN! We're a new startup out of Vancouver, BC, Canada consisting of 2 people. We've spent the past 3 months building our product from the ground-up using Flutter/Dart, and are finally ready to start sharing it with the world! The idea to build Metriport was mainly driven by our own need for such a tool. There were a bunch of existing apps for journaling, habit tracking, water intake, health device integration, spending tracking, etc, but nothing that met our requirements: • Everything in one app: nothing would let us track whatever thing we could think of, with the data…

Hi guys! Our team of HN lurkers been hard at work for what feels like an eternity now and today we're proud to present our first public product: The Walkbase library for Android. You can get it at www.walkbase.com With Walkbase, app developers can push location-specific room-level context (e.g. in-game content, coupons, mobile ads) to various smartphone apps. The idea is to give you a logical context (e.g Starbucks, SOMA) rather than an approximate GPS position for your users and we hope devs will be able to build a bunch of cool stuff on top of this. We hope you like it and find it useful.…

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…

We built TripJam after being frustrated with planning trips in regular group chats and trying to organize information across multiple apps. It combines: - Group chat that keeps all travel discussions in one thread - Interactive maps where everyone can pin locations and add notes - Collaborative itineraries that sync with your calendar - AI travel assistant that suggests activities and helps optimize your plans This solves trying to coordinate information with everyone using messages, Google Maps, Google Docs, and travel guides. Everything syncs in real-time so everyone stays on the same…

Last week I decided to have a go at building a location based app, using native APIs for both android and iphone, but using a webview to display the content. It came together pretty well I think, still waiting for the ios app store to approve or reject the app. The app sends messages to anyone within 100 metres of you: http://herenow.nolanconsul.com/ I blogged a bit about it here: http://bennolan.com/2014/05/27/herenow-retrospective.html
