Congrats Coby, Nick and team! As a user, I'm entirely too excited 🎉 A few months ago, our team partnered with Radar to integrate into our app. We were struggling using solely the Apple geofences, because of the difficulty in customization of geofences and inability to have more than just circular geofences. To be honest, continuing with that ran the risk of compromising not only the stability of our platform, but the trust we had and would continue to establish with users. Then Iris met Radar! <3 The support from the team has been incomparable to many other products and the setup + integration into Iris has been seamless—something any and everyone on the team can do if need be.

@imcatnoone Thanks, Cat! We love what you're building and we're excited to be working with you!

Are you required to set geofences for notifications or can you notify me when a user enters a new city or leaves their home geo?
Nick Patrick
@nalin Great question. Right now you're required to set up geofences, but we'll be adding out-of-the-box support for these types of insights and events in the future. We have a few customers who've set up city and/or airport geofences with appropriate metadata exactly for this purpose. They've set up webhooks that listen for entry/exit events, update user profiles, and send push notifications as appropriate when users move between cities.

Very cool and useful technology! Makes it so much easier for app and product builders.

Think there is a huge opportunity to build a data platform for location that is foundational for the entire application ecosystem. Great team to attack this opportunity -very excited.

@hooman_radfar Thanks for the support, Hooman! Couldn't think of a better platform to launch from than Expa.

Nice work, guys. Excited for what's to come - super helpful for anyone building location aware apps. Wish I had this back in the day. 🤓

Native location APIs are such a pain in the ass—can imagine this saving a ton of time and headaches. Excited to check this out!!

The location platform the Radar team has built is what true product owners and engineers have been waiting for. Couldn't think of a group better suited to pull this off.

Great job and timely! everything is about location and it drives context!

Been planning a location based app for a while, so two questions. 1. The app is web based (mobile + desktop). Can I communicate with your APIs regardless? 2. If I exceed the free tier, will you give me a grace period during which I can decide to purchase a plan, or kill my app outright? Cheers, and congrats on the launch!

@bitfalls Hey! 1. The location update API endpoint isn't documented yet, but we're planning to document it soon. I'll let you know when that happens! In the meantime, you can see the API docs here: https://www.onradar.com/document... 2. Yep, we'd give you a 30-day free pilot period on the paid tier! Thanks for the comment!
