I like the idea but so far I have just gotten alerts saying someone is nearby only to find nobody there when I open the app. Perhaps it should delay the alert until someone has been in range for a couple of minutes. I like the idea but so far I have just gotten alerts saying someone is nearby only to find nobody there when I open the app. Perhaps it should delay the alert until someone has been in range for a couple of minutes. I beta-tested this app when it first came about, and I was more than pleased with the overall layout. I'm glad it's taking off, however I'll be even more happier when I can actually find some people to talk to! Great job to the developers though, I'll be keeping this…from apps.apple.com

Shortwave: Enjoy Your Inbox2022 · shortwave.com · ▲224I’m thrilled to finally be able to show everyone what we’ve been working on for the last 2 years. We’re re-inventing the email experience to help you email smarter and faster, so you can get more done, and maybe even actually enjoy your inbox. When we launched Firebase here 10 years ago, HN was tough but fair, and I expect no less this time around! I hope you’ll check out what we’ve built and share your feedback. I’ll be around here all day and am happy to answer any questions. Let us know what you think!
