Hi everyone. I wanted to start a company that builds privacy preserving/enhancing products+services. The first product was this location sharing service (scratching my own itch), and my friend said I should just put it out there to see if anybody is actually even interested in it. The code is AGPL [1], the crypto is based on libsodium and the mobile apps are all native.
I’d like to find a way to charge for this service so I can spend more time on it, and building other privacy preserving services, but I’m not sure of some things:
* Is this a service you would use?
* Would you pay for it?
* Would you or your company sponsor it?
Happy to answer any questions you may have. Any feedback is appreciated.
P.S. I'm sure you may be wondering "where is the iOS app?". It's coming. Real soon. Now'ish. Later. It's currently undergoing a UI overhaul, and because all of the people I share with are Android users, it hasn't been as high of a priority.
