Comment highlights

HotSpot sounds amazing! Navigating nightlife has always been a challenge, so having an app that offers real-time insights is a game-changer. Kudos to @cbosko and the team for creating such a useful tool. Can’t wait to give it a spin! 🚀

Loving the concept, @cbosko! Real-time insights are a game changer for nightlife navigation. Can't wait to see how this evolves! 🚀

HotSpot sounds really cool, Cody! But I was wondering, can we see who's already at a venue before going? It would be awesome if I could know who's around before I show up. Anyway, congrats on the launch and looking forward to trying it out!

8 people have said “game changer” in these replies. Why? Something seems weird about those comments. 🤔

There was a similar app that I remember from what I first moved to San Francisco, probably ~2012. Any learning from that era of similar app? What's the same? What's different? I vaguely remember there was something they caught a lot of heat for re: allowing stalked to track where people were and breaking down the male:female ratio at bars. Was that a thing?

The idea of finding nightlife spots in real-time is pretty cool but I'm not sure how reliable it'll be, what if the data isn't accurate or spots are too crowded, also how do you handle privacy concerns with users sharing their locations all the time? Maybe consider adding a feature to control privacy settings better and to ensure the info is always current, curious to see how it'll work but got some doubts here, good luck with the launch

HotSpot sounds like a game changer for nightlife enthusiasts! I love the idea of personalized recommendations and real-time insights - that’s definitely a major win for discovering new venues. @cbosko, can't wait to see how this app evolves with user feedback! Upvoting this for sure, as it seems like it could really enhance our social experiences. Excited to share this with friends and explore together!

Love this idea actually, this is such a nice socialising tool. Other than use of locals it can be great tool for backpackers and solo traveler's to find people to hang out with.

I dig this. Also reminds me of an idea that @iamjasonlevin had about showing off the hottest areas around you based on traffic/crowds.

Congrats on the launch! Your creativity and determination have brought you here. Wishing you all the success and happiness in this exciting new venture! 🌟 @cbosko

Hey Cody, I'm interested in how you gather the crowd data. Is it purely user-generated or do you use other sources as well? Do you have plans to expand beyond nightlife to other types of venues or events? Congrats on the launch!

This sounds like a game changer for nightlife lovers! 🥳 Can't wait to see how HotSpot changes the way we discover all those hidden gems. Real-time insights are a must-have for spontaneous nights out. Kudos to @cbosko and the team for this launch! Hoping for some cool integrations with popular venues. Let’s get the party started!

This sounds awesome, @cbosko! I'm curious about how the personalized recommendations work. Do you use any AI or community input to curate the spots? Also, will there be any social features for users to share their experiences? 🎉

this will definitely be useful when I go out in a foreign city in the future, how precise if the crowd level?

Congratulations on the launch! 🚀 The real-time crowd level feature sounds great. I’m curious, how do you get that information?

Nice this. congrats on the launch.hotspot is new my go to aap for finding and meeting locals and fin out their favourite spots and try them out.

Congrats on the launch, @cbosko! 🎉 The concept of HotSpot sounds amazing for nightlife lovers. Real-time insights will surely boost engagement at venues. Can't wait to explore and see how it evolves! Upvoted!

Congrats on the launch! I've always wanted an app similar to this, an app that shows where people visit, where are the popular restaurants, etc. Going off of Google reviews just isn't the real deal, also other restaurant-recommending apps/sites don't help either. HotSpot is now my go to app for finding and meeting locals and find out their favourite spots (to eat obviously) and try them out
