Roadflare is out, now built into Ridestr and Drivestr version 0.2.0! So many bug fixes this last week before I felt like it was in a safe place to push out. If you use it, let me know how it works out for you, and any issues you have. Download now from zapstore.dev (android only, for now) Github Repo here: https://github.com/variablefate/ridestr

Thanks for the feedback. Any specifics on the clunky areas?

Valid criticism all around.

Okay so latest release has most of this fixed and normiefied. I didn't completely remove the screens for the backup or wallet options, but I did make them WAYYYY friendlier.

Something else to consider are people that live near boarders. If someone lives in Guymon, Oklahoma, they are very close to New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, and Texas too. At the same time, they might never want to go to a particular state for various reasons.

Trying to understand this feedback. Are border rides not working? I haven't really tested intrastate rides yet.

First, I'd like to apologize if my consideration doesn't apply to your software. I haven't used your app, I'm just saying that borders are sometimes a hassle, and sometimes necessary, when it comes to software that involves a geographical area. Depending on context, sometimes the distance from me (no matter where borders are) is the only important factor. In other instances, jurisdiction of silly rules are the main factor. In the Oklahoma example I provided, let's pretend I'm using an app to buy a car. I'm willing to drive 75 miles to buy one, but only if it's in my state. Or if I'm job hunting, maybe I'm willing to commute 50 miles, but not if I have to go to Colorado. This type of logic is missing from nearly every common software that makes use of geography.

I did think of the use case, but I think it's far less necessary than you'd think. There are libraries to check current state, but checking distance to state borders is much more complex. While many people live near borders, not that many people actually cross the borders every day, to the point that it'd be necessary to download by default. In philly for example, it's only a bridge away from Camden NJ, but I've noticed from license plates that there is rarely ever a car from the other side on either side. Most cities on borders are separated by a toll bridge and people rarely cross day to day. Also, everyone has unlimited data nowadays. You can just hit them with the "would you like to download this states map?" modal when you see them in another state.
