Nearby, passing through and up for meeting now
Written by Julien Lenaz, lead developer of cruush.
Nearby
People close to you on the map right now. How close you see them depends on how they share their location, and it is usually an area, not an exact spot.
Passing through
People who are not from here and are passing through. If you are in town for a night, this is a useful thing to be.
Up for meeting now
People who want to meet soon, not eventually. It saves a lot of back and forth.
Why the map is first
You open cruush and see what is actually around you, instead of an endless grid to scroll.
Reading the map
Treat each group as a signal, not a promise. Someone who is up for meeting now still gets to decide who they meet, and someone who is passing through may have only a few hours.
