    I had an idea for an app that would be kind of like a real time posting board but limited by geolocated bursts.

    I got the idea sitting in Boston Common a few years back with my camera, thinking, "I wish I could just send a text burst out that says anyone in Boston Common who wants a portrait taken, ping me."

    Then I thought how this would translate pretty well to things like festivals (musicians could do things like "acoustic set here!" or concert-goers can meet up for drugs), protests, or just large urban environments with retail centers that would constantly use it for advertising sales

    Anyway I figure it works on multiple levels of potential revenue, and the people I've talked with about it say the angle to play for getting VC would be to have a specific target market to try it out on.

    Of course the pandemic happened but I think once people can gather again it's not the worst idea.
