Bike-pooling and carpooling are taking off quite a bit in Asia (at the expense of Uber). Scooters and bikes are doing well in US and EU. There are more apps to be built for sure... It's the beginning, not the end.
1. You don’t have to pay Google :-)
2. Google packages the on-device navigation and places experience for ridesharing, while this repo is focused on the location tracking aspect and how that experience is managed in the cloud.
ah that's interesting. we've seen that sales people don't like being tracked, they like to perform. service teams on the other hand like stuff being automated and get more efficient. thanks for the insight though.
most unexpected i have seen is volunteers on election day visiting polling booths through the day.
@kishanht ridesharing is a relatable metaphor for any two sided network with moving supply on one side, being matched with dynamic demand on the other.
@Charles_tse thanks for going through the Github repos. this is indeed a generic on-demand platform kickstarter.
good question, main goal was to get the project up and running quickly. guess for the frontend there's less need for it. the backend project uses localtunnel to consume webhooks while testing locally. ngrok looks great!
Smartphone is where the work app sits. Making the app location aware serves a diff need than vehicle connected telematics. The worlds converge a bit but tandem is more the norm than replacement.
