Description
EXNOW is a location-first social discovery platform that helps people discover what’s happening around them in real time. Find nearby events, community updates, opportunities and people with shared interests. Share location-relevant Drops, create Signals to find people who want to join an activity, and explore communities built around places—not just followers. We’re building a social layer for campuses, neighbourhoods and cities, connecting digital information with real-world participation.

Could you build this?
Partial While the mobile UI and Uber H3 geospatial bucketing are standard, a live hyper-local social discovery network requires real-time geofenced messaging infrastructure and complex spam/moderation safeguards.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine Flutter/React Native, a backend on Go or Node.js utilizing Redis Geospatial and Uber's H3 spatial index, and WebSocket/WebRTC clusters for live signalling. The difficult engineering challenges involve ephemeral event state synchronization across varying density zones and preventing spam/harassment without collecting persistent tracking data.
