“If your startup failed, it’s because it didn’t solve a tier 1 problem for a large enough audience" - Mitchell Harper. I'm having trouble understanding what problem this solves.

I'd also love to know what the triggers are for people to use this app.

Also hangover... the name entails a totally different kind of application.

Good luck! If i were you I would take time to talk with your target market to validate your idea.

It's like a security mechanism for spicy material. What stays in Vegas (defined as a group of individuals) does a better job of staying in Vegas if collocation is a requirement.
Another angle is a groupon type service. Do something fun together, get a coupon for food/drink/another fun activity that unlocks when all members on the group reunite in a month. Create mechanism for 'chaining' to encourage stickiness. People get slight push to maintain friendships they might let otherwise let slip away.
Sure, I see what you're saying ionforce, and thanks for the clarification.

I still don't see the point...Hangover only works when you 1. go to the same place with 2. the same people, and 3.you want to lock content with those people

I ask how often does this use case occur?

What do you think ionforce?

I'm pretty sure the "Hangover" reference is to the series of (NSFW) still photos that played over the credits at the end of the first Hangover movie. Where they state "we're just going to look through these one time."
