Hey, I'm one of the cofounders of getWiFi/Meshable.
We wanted to make free WiFi simple to find, no app required. We are also bringing free WiFi to small businesses that traditionally do not offer it (e.g. food trucks https://meshable.io/trucks).
Happy to answer any questions! (Follow us at @MeshableHQ <3)

@rgawdzik @meshablehq Interesting! Wondering about the tech behind it. Is it something like a proximity scan for open networks?

@kovlex @meshablehq For the mobile version of getWiFi, we perform proximity scans when you have no current WiFi connection to find nearby networks that we know are free.
Here is our tech stack:
- Elixir (http://elixir-lang.org/)
- Phoenix Framework (http://www.phoenixframework.org/) w/ Postgres
- Convox (https://convox.com/)
