Interesting. We've been using Slack as a family chat tool (sue me, I'm a geek) but this look more suited to a social application.

@andreasduess slack works well as a family tool if you have that conforming family. We are more consumer driven and the family members can effectively have unlimited teams with others that each of you are not a part of. One stop shop. Also, grandma can get her participation via email - 2 way.

@dscornell yes - just downloaded it and will get my long suffering wife to give this a whirl :D

@andreasduess I have been using @Life360 due to their cross-platform support.

@andreasduess I am one of the folks on support, so I will hold her hand. My wife took a bit of time to dig deep, just chatting at first, now she is a power user! Web client coming soon which helps with longer form communication. Thanks.

@askdaylen I like that too. Seems a little more focused on knowing where people are.

@askdaylen @life360 asks for more information than I am willing to share - including fitness tracking. I realize that they need that to make the app work, but it feels too intrusive for me.

@andreasduess it seemed good for parents watching kids.

@dscornell For sure. But Apple has that functionality built into the OS, so I don't need to add an additional data share point with a third party. I haven't got my Android phone with me right now, but fairly certain the same applies there.

@andreasduess my kids have iPhones, but I don't follow them geo wise. If it was a 911, I assume I could get the info. I do make them have notifications turned on for my Hatch channels. If they are too slow to respond, no allowance!

@dscornell That's the way to do it. Friend of mine posted (on FB) a picture of a paper note from a dad to his kids, listing chores that needed doing. Underneath the list was today's wifi password, once all chores were done, tomorrow's password would be released.

@andreasduess that's brilliant. Need a dashboard for wifi and cellular and make sure they can still call 911. It's more powerful than taking car keys. They can't uber around it. :-)
