This is a neat tool, and while this is maybe a bit too local for hackernews, I can say that using the current ebike rental system in Stockholm is pretty problematic atm. Currently the perspective is like you go to find a bike in the official app, but there are none there in reality. Or it doesn't unlock or the battery is at like 3 percent (shown in the app when unlocked). The system is great however when it does work because ebikes are nice.
To be honest, with how open data is becoming I would bet we see more solutions from independent parties to solve problems with official solutions. Was an interesting case to see here. And ofc I am benefitting from it by being able to actually ride ebikes so that's nice. Some problems with the app I notice ofc (doesnt show your location well imo), but the official app is so horrible I overlook this.
Here was the original reddit thread posted on this where I saw it: https://www.reddit.com/r/stockholm/comments/wc6yot/stockholm...
