@manton basically a subtle way to inform everyone you’re on a texting basis with where you’re gonna be. I dig it. Maybe a little too specific to travelers though?

i’m experimenting with it on a local level, showing my plans to be in various areas nearby: Santa Cruz, Palo Alto, San Francisco. So, not just “travel”.

@manton Yes. I’ve been hoping for something like this to get spun up. My concern is with privacy. Mozi’s site mentions they don’t “plan” or “intend” to monetize via advertising as a way to suggest they have no interest in selling user data. But those words are far from definitive.

@manton I would love to see something like this but end to end encrypted. Charge for premium features, but fully prevent from selling data, not just promise.

Hard to definite a business plan around. But maybe Apple or Signal could do something in this area. (Ignoring Apple’s prior attempts around social)

If this app isn’t end-to-end encrypted I would never use it. All it’s gonna take is for one stalker or similar bad event for this to go south real fast. Giving away your location in this day and age is, imo, risky business.

This is foursquare for friends.

What is the max audience size of an app built around the expectation that you have so many friends that all travel so much that you’ll accidentally overlap as you galavant from NYC to Colombia to Morocco all in a 30 day span?
