Geospatial chat with Convex real time APIs
Hi everyone! I built a geospatial messaging app. It's a big group chat with everyone in a 100 feet radius of you. In the library? Wondering what people are working on? Want to form an on-demand study group? Or maybe you're at an event... need to find people working in fintech. Helps you engage deeper with your physical space.
Some notes:
- right now we are just polling location, sending it up to convex and convex is sending us the live last 10 messages of chat (this is an intention limitation)
- as you move, you'll hop into different localized "group chats" in your main view
- geospatial chat uses geohashing with reactive queries done in Convex backend (which is actually f'ing amazing)
Things I'll be working on this week before I launch / submit it for my class project:
- bug fixes
- making the UI good
- location polling is 50/50 and does the job for treehacks but is nowhere as robust as i want it to be
- adding notifications (not even sure how to approach this but ill figure it out)
props to @Michal Srb @ballingt @Wayne for helping me so much with this!
