Radar is location data infrastructure. You can use Radar SDKs and APIs to add location context to your apps with just a few lines of code.

I am very excited to introduce you to Radar, a location platform for mobile apps. Helping launch Radar today is especially fun because they are a part of the first Expa Labs program, are my former colleagues from Foursquare, and have built an amazing product. Radar helps companies collect, analyze, and act on location data. It seems obvious to teams now to add an analytics platform to their mobile apps, and the same will become true for location platforms. Radar can help teams build better products and services with location, thereby increasing engagement, increasing revenue, or improving operations. I hope you’ll check it out!

Thanks, @ericfriedman! Hey, Product Hunt! I'm Nick, one of the co-founders. We're building Radar because, ten years into the smartphone era, it's still way too hard to build products and services with location. We wrote more about this problem and how we're solving it here: https://blog.onradar.com/introdu... We'd love to hear your feedback and answer your questions!

@ericfriedman This looks really cool! Are there any plans on supporting Progressive Web Apps?

@thehashrocket Thanks! @kunalslab asked the same question below, so I'll share the same response: We're focused on native mobile apps for now, since that's where we see the biggest pain and the biggest opportunity to start. But Radar could in theory ingest and make sense of any locations sent to our API, whether from our native mobile SDKs or from a web JavaScript library, from historical data, or from other types of devices.

Hey cool stuff! Building location features is definitely more painful than it needs to be. Congrats on launching this. have you seen HyperTrack.com? how are you guys different?
Kunal Bhatia
Awesome! Are you seeing similar issues for web apps on mobile that require location/geofencing? If so, any plans to support more than native apps?

@nickpatrick @kunalslab I think this would be super interesting though I get that companies like Algolia kinda have that built in too.
Kunal Bhatia
@nickpatrick thanks, I'll take a look at the APIs. @stevenlu yes, though Algolia is tuned toward search. I like that Radar is focused on location only.

Congrats to Coby and Nick. As others have mentioned, this is an incredible team that's been assembled to pull this off. Excited to see the company grow.

I'm v excited by Radar and what it means for location services. I sometimes feel like we're still pre-search internet for the physical world ... and it still needs to be indexed. Radar is a step in the right direction. well done @nickpatrick and @cobyberman. very excited to wake up to a PH launch today :)

Looks very useful. Wish this existed sooner, I've hated reinventing the wheel for some of my past apps.

Whether you're a national retailer or a local bar it always makes more sense to geofence than install physical beacons to drive context and additional commerce, and now it's possible for any use case. Plus the team is amongst the best I've met. Excited :)
