Show HN: Walkbase, room-level context for your apps.

[njern]

Hi guys!

Our team of HN lurkers been hard at work for what feels like an eternity now and today we're proud to present our first public product: The Walkbase library for Android. You can get it at www.walkbase.com

With Walkbase, app developers can push location-specific room-level context (e.g. in-game content, coupons, mobile ads) to various smartphone apps. The idea is to give you a logical context (e.g Starbucks, SOMA) rather than an approximate GPS position for your users and we hope devs will be able to build a bunch of cool stuff on top of this.

We hope you like it and find it useful. Feedback is of course very welcome!

Hey guys I've tried signing up as a developer but haven't gotten a registration email yet and therefore can't start using the library, is there some sort of waitlist??

I'm currently developing an app that could really use Walkbase's library / functionality, I'm really excited to start building with Walkbase as soon as possible!!

Hi, Sorry for the inconvenience. Seems that some of the registration emails end-up in the spam-folder for some users.

Please check your spam folder for the mail. If it's not there, you can contact us directly at [e-mail] and well set you up an account directly asap.

Just reading "indoor positioning platform" is enough to make me salivate. Most interesting startup I've heard about in ages.

This is AWESOME!!!! Exactly the location functionality I was looking for to support a new app I'm building

this is pretty cool if it works. It would be a great companion to a service like Apple's Find My Friend service they just launched.
