Super excited that we've been hunted! We'll be commenting throughout the day, any questions just let us know :) Would love all your feedback so we can make Sup even better.
@richpleeth@supmenow Sorry but how's this different from "Nearby Friends" in the Facebook app? And what exactly does "Sup" do that makes it "creep-free"? Thank you
@huntergray@supmenow Hi there, you can't see a friends exact location on a map just if they are in your area which can be up to 25minutes away or as little as within 5minutes. It's not directional so you can't actually track friends. We also have a hide button, so you can just tap and take yourself off the radar.
Looks a lot like a previous start-up of mine http://joinproxy.com | People really didn't like how we showed ~distance away- People really enjoy their privacy -love how you group them into circles around distance from you. If I may, a feature we placed in Proxy was an ephemeral AIM style status messages to let your friends know what you are doing, when and where. Where we failed I hope you succeed! If you need any advice Email me at wills@joinflash.com - All the best
@williamb3ntley@joinflash Thanks so much Will! Very kind of you! I think we will definitely take you up on that!

@williamb3ntley@joinflash I hear you, sometimes mothers (or fathers) for instance would love the opportunity to have lunch, having been invited to a local cafe. so whilst there is a privacy issue, this offers a great get out of the house solution also, for some. And the cafe could offer a special for the small group.
@kevinmineyours ha did you just ask me out on a coffee date through confusing code words? Also @producthunt it is absolutely inexcusable that when someone clicks on a notification about a comment it doesn't take you directly to where that new @ comment sits in the page. -1 ph, -1...
I'm loving this app. @richpleeth recently spoke about it on my podcast. Straight after my chat, I introduced two entrepreneurs from UK and US who only missed each other by 24 hours (despite being 1/2 mile apart visiting Boston a day earlier). This app will help people physically connect more often.
@philipkuklis We use the background location updates in iOS. This technology consumes a low amount of power as our app doesn't need to monitor your location constantly. iOS detects when you've moved a significant distance (via cell towers) and lets the app know. Our current measurements show us using as little as 2% battery (The same as your lock screen or apple mail).

Welcome fellow Londoner. Forgive me if i missed it, but whats the radius for finding friends ?
@kevinmineyours within 25minutes walking to within 5 minutes walking. :) We used to have it in metres and yards but user feedback made us clear this up.
