Jaywalk - Walk, get money

by

Jaywalk is a new app that lets you earn discounts in your neighborhood just for walking or running. We built it because walking is the easiest way to stay healthy and walking for a coffee, sandwich, or even a drink is a great goal. This is the second version of the app and we're proud to share it with ProductHunt.

I recommend reading on how technology design influences society and even in the selection of a name can shift thinking of what is ok and not ok. Read: https://link.springer.com/articl...

Pros:

Good concept.

Cons:

Terrible name, it desensitizes & normalizes an illegal activity in many areas. Social ramifications of choices are important to consider.

"normalizes an illegal activity in many areas" The app itself isn't about jaywalking, and to think this will increase jaywalking is so ridiculous.

Love the idea! Another example how technology can be used for good.

I downloaded this to try with the idea it would be similar to Sweatcoin where I get sweatcoins for walking which can be redeemed on real-life rewards. In Jaywalk, you earn jaycoin but they expire in 24 hours (however after using it for a few days, my jaycoin still seem to be there so now I am wondering).

There are currently no offers to use in Australia, so everything I earn can’t be spent on anything and will disappear before any local merchants join. I have invited some friends and merchants I found emails for but so far but I haven't had many sign up yet. I got a notification a friend joined but I wasn't able to find a way to follow him. I It would be cool if you could connect your Twitter and see if any of your followers are already on there.

At the moment, everything on my feed is over 14,000 km away but I am trying to change that by posting some of my own material.

I think this app would be better if your jaycoins didn’t expire, there were a lot more places to get rewards, and it was easier to connect to friends on there.

Pros:

Beautiful user interface. Can invite friends and merchants.

Cons:

No offers in Australia. Jaycoins expire in 1 day. Can’t change miles to kilometres.

Is there some sort of difficulty level? Because I can see a lot of athletes always getting the maximum discount.

@ussumant merchants can set a max for themselves.

This good idea

The app is a great idea to make the lazy and sedentry people leave the room and instead of ordering food to their desk go out for a walk and make some bucks as an extra source of mini pocket money.

You can also partner with merchants to add extra points when a user buys food from counter instead of delivery.

All the very best.

Pros:

Concept, vision and the the motive

Cons:

Reach
