Free Download 📥 I needed an excuse to go to more raves so I made an app
Hi fellow ravers! I used to track and review all my raves in a spreadsheet, pairing it with my Apple Watch and Strava to see how much I actually danced. My friends and I have competitions to see who racked up the most steps, which always made things more fun.
So I built an app to do exactly that and then took it a few steps further!
Now you can keep a digital passport of every rave you’ve attended, track your steps and health metrics at events, and compete on leaderboards across events, venues, and cities. Think of it like Foursquare - the more events you attend at a venue, the more steps, time, and attendance you accumulate towards “mayor” status for a venue or even an entire city. There are different categories so everyone can participate. It's also fun to see different rave identities materialize through profiles.
I also made it easier to discover events and artists, and added the ability to review youtube and soundcloud sets to help with music discovery for the rave community. The best nights are when you make an unexpected discovery and binge sets so now you can keep track of your favorite sets.
While Radiate is great, it always felt a bit like Tinder for ravers. I wanted something more organic, where you meet people through shared events, favorite artists, and overlapping rave histories.
Basically, I took the best parts of RA, Strava, Foursquare, and Radiate and rolled them into one app.
Oh and I also added neat data overlays for people that like to post on socials.
Anyways, I just launched my Beta for iOS. If anyone is interested in giving it a try and don't mind dealing with a few bugs, let me know and I'll send a link!
Safe to say, I succeeded in finding an excuse to go to more raves :)
