PigeonMe

PigeonMe 1.x

PigeonMe is a location sharing application that lets you invite your contacts to meet up at a certain time and place, provides directions via routes on a map, and keeps everyone informed of progress to the destination.

Our graphics team provided the look and feel of the app, we all determined its features, and I architected the application and its server-side elements.

One of the highlights was demoing PigeonMe on Start-up Alley at TechCrunch Disrupt 2011: San Francisco.
