Opening this on desktop.. I'm not reading any of this.

Glancing in more I see react-native mentioned, and expo+expo go mentioned, but like... it's been proven time and time again that Hacker News isn't your ideal feedback loop (ie: Dropbox, AirBNB).

Why make 4 paragraphs of text when you could just say:

- We obliterated X problem: (link)

- We demonstrate why that problem is significant here: (public link or private deck)

- We are growing at X->(timeframe or whatever impressive metric)

Reach out if interested. Thanks. [[email protected]]

However with the Multi-armed bandit approach it does make sense to re-consider that since it's a continuous optimization problem and the overall average conversion rate would be higher.

I replied with feedback on twitter.

Interacting with the map should hide the top and make the only thing scrollable in the viewport the map (with the "Your Alias" bar fixed at the top). Scrolling down causes you to zoom out when your mouse is over the map, which is a really bad experience.

When you scroll down, maybe the "Your Alias" bar has the BitBar logo on the left, and a metro-picker dropdown on the right. This would make the usability a lot cleaner, because it's hard to zoom into a city if you accidentally click on a bar, which slides up the Drink Picker.

There should also be a "Cancel" on the Drink Picker, that doesn't require you to click on the map, because clicking on the map puts the body scrollTop to 0.
