@andrewfarah Requiring hardware installation limits scalability, though I like this solution more than others that I've seen because it's cheap and looks pretty lightweight overall. Isn't it possible to do something similar with only software (i.e. some combination of BLE/GPS/mesh networks)?

@adamarice We're not ruling out combining data. But the base set gets really hard to "own" and sell when it's derived from combos of other platform data. The product would also harder to defend / easier to replicate, and worst case we open ourselves up to being sherlocked by said platform / (like meerkated by Twitter)- Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She... /// Despite this, "Sherlocking" has become an accepted term used within the Mac and iOS developer community for Apple announcing a new system feature that seems similar to an existing third-party application. //

Has anyone here actually tried it out? I did. I signed up and I can see that there's only EIGHT places (most of them in the Bay Area). Only SIX of those places have data. The idea is PHENOMENAL because I think that sensor technology is slowly becoming more relevant and will allow for incredibly useful applications. The execution for Density however, is just not there... yet. Excited to see where it goes from here.

@irvingtorresyc Yeah. You're getting select locations and a very early version of the application. The purpose of discussing with the Product Hunt community is a first look at an app that was approved just 2 days ago and a request for critical feedback. Had to get the hardware right first. Appreciate the feedback.
