Congrats on the launch! I've always wanted an app similar to this, an app that shows where people visit, where are the popular restaurants, etc. Going off of Google reviews just isn't the real deal, also other restaurant-recommending apps/sites don't help either. HotSpot is now my go to app for finding and meeting locals and find out their favourite spots (to eat obviously) and try them out
Congrats on the launch, @cbosko! š The concept of HotSpot sounds amazing for nightlife lovers. Real-time insights will surely boost engagement at venues. Can't wait to explore and see how it evolves! Upvoted!
Love this idea actually, this is such a nice socialising tool. Other than use of locals it can be great tool for backpackers and solo traveler's to find people to hang out with.
@atharva_b Thanks Atharva!
Yes exactly. This will come in handy for travelers

Just saw this product and Iām excited to try it. The idea of finding buzzing spots in real-time sounds super useful, especially for spontaneous hangouts or travel. Looking forward to seeing how it works in action!
Hey @cbosko the design looks really nice. Especially the heat maps are a cool feature.
2 questions
1. How do you handle the geofenced information in terms of privacy?
2. How are you building a critical mass per venue/city, this is something I know from my own experience is the hardest thing to do when building a social app.
Congrats on the launch š
@crebuh Thanks Christopher!
All venues are geofenced, when a user opens the app within this vicinity they can interact with others or receive offers. Once they leave it disconnects the user from that venue, so users won't have continuous tracking on.
This was difficult for us as well. We created an interactive Discover mode where users will be able to connect with other users within a geofenced area. This feature can be used as live dating type of feature or just for connecting. This will help hold retention for users. Users can also purchase passes or offers within each venue also helping retention.
@twoheads Similar yes as it connects users to local venues. Foursquare shows recommendations based on users previous history. We show users more so whats busy in live time with a social aspect for connecting.
