Hi, can we get along?

I guess it's appropriately named at least 😂

I didn’t think of that 🤣

Hi sorry to bother you guys!! We just needed a little boost for our Geyser. it’s for my son 🙏🏻 thanks !! nostr:nevent1qqsv5rd33pl0rk0yqs495r2xct9m8a5uar0ktn6yf8vlrv0dam0eg7qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdu86egfz

There is this thing in Bangalore called Namma Yatri that doesn't charge any fees per ride and instead the drivers pay a subscription fee per month to use the platform. It's a government sponsored initiative but the codebase is open source and maintained by a private company I have been meaning to take a lot at it forever but never did

I had to build / maintain source code for a company that behaved in a very similar way as Uber. The company abandoned the source code, and we had to depend on other companies services to get it all working. The mapping software seemed like the hardest problem to solve as roads are ever changing, new housing complexes going in, zip code changes, etc. Of course geohashing is a thing now, and/or integration with google maps could work. Finding available drivers is a fun problem to solve... I dunno.

I avoid Grab or Bolt and use regular taxis or motorbike taxis "motosai" or songthaew/สองแถว Both because it's cheaper and to avoid surveillance

WoT is a good start; but, to really be useful, a Nostr-based service is going to require a much more robust npub rating system (this goes for pretty much any market on Nostr intended for the masses).

Hmm, weird setup. Does it work well? But I think a free market would be better

Yeah I think the hardest part actually is to get users, not write the code 🤔

The app works pretty well user experience wise

35% !? Fucking insane!
