📌

Howdy y’all! I’m a designer at Gowalla, and we’re thrilled to announce the new Gowalla is available today in the app store! It’s a social map and messenger all in one, and we hope it helps make it fun and easy to connect with your friends IRL: Add your favorite places to the map, check in when you go out, and find your crew in the real world. Speaking of the real world, we’ll be in Austin this weekend for SXSW. We’re hosting a gathering with our friends at Funsize on Monday, March 13. Details on social media. Hope we get to see some of you there!

Gowalla's back! Of course, just in time for SXSW. @jw – Curious what the biggest changes or learnings you're bringing to Gowalla since its first launch 16 (!!!) years ago?

Such a cool idea! Can you turn on and off sharing in the app easily? Just thinking what if I want to go somewhere I don't want others to see :D

@thedontgetrekt Right now all your checkins are shared with your friends. (that's why we make it very clear to not "friend" everyone, but carefully select the audience you're comfortable sharing your checkins with) Later we'll add the ability to set the privacy levels on a per-checkin base.

@thedontgetrekt that is correct! You choose what and when you want to share.

Hello! Congrats on the launch of Gowalla on Product Hunt! It looks unusual, I've never saw kind of app! But if someone wants to meet - they can just call or text in the usual messenger, I guess. Can you tell me your business idea (or something like that)? Thanks.

Congrats on the launch! I haven't heard of you guys before but someone told me this app almost became a unicorn 🦄 What is a lesson that have you learned from past operations?

@mycelebs_elle besides our experience with v1 (13 years ago now?), the entire team has collectively ranked up dozens of experiences at other startups over the years. I think we did a good job of learning how to pace ourselves, making though product decisions etc. Excited for the future, this is only the start 🙂

As a tinkerer in this space (one of the many PH posted apps called truffle, 2015-8) https://www.producthunt.com/prod... I really wanted to try the chat, because that's what we were trying to build out. I noticed that the contacts uploader won't work for me, and as of now that's the only way it would enable friend connections. Can someone add me so I can see?

@tomlimongello we’re seeing some launch-day gremlins, including the contact connect stuff which we hope to solve soon. Meanwhile you can search for people and add them that way 🙂
