In plain words

Gowalla is a social mapping application that helps users stay connected with friends in the physical world. Users can add favorite locations to a map, check in when visiting places, and find their friends' locations in real time. The app combines social networking features with messaging and map functionality, designed for people who want to maintain real-world connections through their smartphones rather than just online interaction.

I'm a Software Engineer and I spent 6 years developing a perimeter-based geofence-based social media app. What it does: - Allows you to load a custom perimeter anywhere on the geographic map (180° E and W longitude and 90° N and S latitude), to cover area any area of interest - Chat rooms get loaded within the perimeter - You can chat with people within the perimeter I developed a mobile app that uses an advanced geofence-based networking system from 2013 to 2019.

    I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore.
