That's an interesting decision. Are you seeding the app in specific locations? Or more generally, how do you get over that damn chicken-and-egg hurdle, @bnolan?
Hey Ryan, thanks for posting this. :) I made it anonymous out of laziness basically, it was easier to not have a sign up screen than to have one. I'm thinking I'll offer usernames as an In-App-Purchase if I get enough traction.
I'm going to analyse the data in aggregate to see which cities people are using the app in, and then do grass-roots marketing there (fiverr fliers, subreddits, local blogs). And focus on making the product better, since that's something that I have experience with and have control over :)
I've thought about showing the closest x users, but the idea is that you leave messages at places and pick them up when you get there. I think 'closest x users' would be cool, but a different app idea. :)
It does need a network connection, just gps + wifi network positioning, no mesh networking / bluetooth.
