Press & stories.

Writing about independent spots, the post-aggregator era of discovery, or what happens when an app makes you leave the house? We'd love to talk.

What we're talking about

• The economics of independent hospitality and why aggregators are slowly killing it
• Movement-gated apps as a new category, and why physical verification matters now
• Vibe vectors and the five-House framework: building personalisation without surveillance
• HotSpots: how a live, anonymised view of city movement could replace static reviews
• Building a consumer app with a small team, using AI as a force multiplier without making it the headline

Quick facts

• Founded 2024, London
• Co-founders: Dani (CEO), Yousef (CTO)
• Pre-launch, currently in TestFlight beta
• Independent spots only
• B2B revenue model: spot subscriptions, no booking commissions
