Rogerer #32, and I'm loving it! Nice to see what my friends are up to for spontaneous coincidences.

I love this app! I've got friends all over the world and it's amazing to be able to see where they all are and get notified if we're close 😁. It also works for boats if that's your thang ⛵as it successfully tracked my sail from Tenerife to Cape Verde 👌. Fab developers and awesome app. Great work team! 🫶

Did you consider the name Marco Polo? 😏

as rogerer #7 I can proudly say that roger roger is the best way to stay connected to my friends <3

Rogerer 6 here. When I was on my way to a friend and texted him that I was stuck in traffic, he texted back, I know, I see you on roger roger. That made me go hmm, maybe James made something useful this time. A funny side effect is that I’ve become more active out of fear to be location shamed by my friends. No more hermit hermit

yeahh! will try today in San Francisco

🔥

Very fun product, and the team clearly cares a lot about the experience, shipping refinements regularly, and listening to their users

Creating spontaneous meetups from the app is really cool

Super slick product guys, great work! Love the design. What about an "uncommon" interests matching feature - hear me out, a lot of the good friends we make with others are based on the niche or uncommon interests we have... in common, what if you also found a way to help people match using that as an additional criteria (as well as location), so you ONLY match if it is a really odd interest e.g. Mongolian throat singing aficionados. It would only show you people if you match.

A beautiful app of serendipity. Really fun running into friends, and seeing who's about. Can highly recommend! i've been using it for a few months now, congrats @supnim and @jamespotterdev 🙌

So much love and detail went into this app already. The video is amazing too. Can’t stop spying on my friends 😌

Congrats for the launch friends 👏

I started using roger-roger a couple of months ago, and it's been a ton of fun! I've been bumping into friends in random places and having spontaneous meetings almost every day, and I love it! This is a fantastic way to better connect with your friends in the real world. Sometimes, I see that a friend is in a nearby cafe, and it's the perfect excuse to get up from my chair and go say hi. Love the direction of this project. Congratulations on the launch, @supnim and @jamespotterdev !

Roger Roger is like having your very own 'Where's Waldo' for friends! 🌍📍 Never lose track of your buddies again, because with this app, it's like they've got a neon sign above their heads saying, 'I'm here!' 😂 Plussssssss, planning hangouts is a breeze. You'll know exactly when your pals are en route, so no more 'I'm almost there' excuses! I have ONE feature request, can we have a "Date Mode" please? 😅 Sometimes, you just need a break from friends tracking you on romantic nights out. It'd be a lifesaver! 🕶️🌟 Thanks, Roger Roger, for turning us all into modern-day explorers and event wizards. 🚀🗺️ May Roger Roger live long and proposer.

Definitely helped me meet friends in multiple countries more often, so the “engineering serendipity” works. The barrier is lower to create an event, compared to talking individually to see if they wanna join. Just pin a location on the map with a time and see later who joins. Works also great to see who is still in the coworking to join for lunch and dinner.

I love using roger-roger! Using it since the early days ❤️

Congrats on the launch Nimesh and James! roger-roger looks exciting! Could you elaborate on the mechanisms and features in place that allow users to confidently and securely connect with friends for coffee or surprise visits?
