Thanks for the kind words @neil_jain83! We've already started to see people posting about discounts and sales happening on campus because our app is the best place for the entire community to see it. We're excited to keep talking to our users and finding new ways to improve their experience!

Hey @sebfeed, Vinay here, one of makers of Wildfire! Thanks for the kind words man! I’d say one of my favorite pieces of user-generated news was when a transfer student at NC State posted on Wildfire the day before classes started for him saying that he were nervous about making friends, and wanted advice on how to do so. Over the next few hours we had 100’s of people organically coming into app to form friend groups, give him advice, and even their numbers telling him that they should all hang out soon. Another example is when the White Supremacist rally was happening in Charlottesville recently. Though the event was beyond tragic, we had hundreds of students consistently coming in to post videos & pictures and were discussing with one another in real-time which areas they should be avoiding. Whether people are posting the dankest memes or alerting students about a shooting, it's truly beautiful to see that Wildfire is helping to build a community based on authenticity & respect.
