Hi HN,
I’m the solo developer behind mungbean. It’s a different take on the ambient location app, such as yikyak of yore.
This is a real time content sharing/chat app, that uses your location and activity levels to group and split communities of users. Each “room” represents a geographic fence. As more people join, the room splits and the geofence shrinks - hopefully equalizing the overcrowding that happens with most regular chat rooms, while giving those users a more local experience. Users can chat, submit pics/blurbs/links, or just lurk and upvote on the front page.
The goal is to give a voice back to the individual, rather than being drowned out too many messages (like on youtube chat) or revolving around influencers. This is accomplished by letting the app form a community, instead of the traditional pick-and-choose method.
An Android version is also available in the Play Store (just search “mungbean”). Pop in for a quick hangout, and let me know what you think!
