Hi ProductHunters! Rave is all about connecting with people very close to you. You log in with Instagram and are entered into a chat experience with other users that share your location. I helped make Rave so please let me know if you have any feedback.

Hi Ben, I hope people find it useful in all kinds of ways. One of the biggest use cases I think will be Instagram discovery.
Maker
Yep, wanted to make it clearer. Thanks for the feedback!
Pretty nice! Always looking for new accounts, especially locally.
Maker
Thanks so much Zac!
The landing page of the product could be much more informative. For the moment the only information it gives is "The world is a small place, Rave makes it smaller". Not really descriptive unless you follow the link to app store to find the same description mixed by some screeshots.

Hi Aram, thanks for the feedback. The basic concept is you can connect with people on Instagram around you by using Rave.
I don't fully understand it, is the chat happening on your app? (means you need more people) or are you just utilizing Instagrams - comments/hashtags and the other person doesn't actually know you are using the "rave" app?
Maker
Hi Rick, great questions, thanks for the input. Everything you see in Rave is happening on Rave only and nowhere else. We don't track, record, or keep anything. We just launched yesterday but you are very right, we need more people.
I like the concept. The app is a bit lonely here in Minneapolis. Perhaps you could add some channels for places visited? For example, I was just in Nicaragua a month ago. It'd be awesome to chat with people who were also there around that time. Are you able to get Instagram photos' timestamps? Cool concept! Keep going.

Hi Jerad, thanks for the awesome feedback! We definitely hear you -- geographical isolation and past travels are a big challenge that we want to overcome. We have a some ideas and are going to test them in future releases. Stay tuned!

Hi ProductHunters, thanks for all the feedback so far! I recommend trying Rave tonight when you are out and about. You might discover something local and relevant.
Hi! Nice way to interact with instagram users segment, but what the general point using rave for insta user?
Maker
Hi Dima, I think users will find many great things to do with Rave. On a high level we think Instagrammers want to find other new cool users nearby.
Android support in consideration?
Maker
We have much love for our Android supporters but are not on the platform yet. As would like to expand to Android as soon as we have the resources.
There is an app called instamessage that is similar.
Maker
Yep we know it. Rave is much different, check it out :)
