Looking for more people to ride with! I’m located in northwest Queens by LaGuardia airport but willing to go anywhere for the most part.

Hope everyone rides safe!

I have good insurance with good coverage. When parked at home it’s in a garage in a secure neighborhood but when out and about for hours at a time what do most people do? Ideally i don’t want to lug too many things along with me, i know if thieves want the bike they’ll take it. Any recommendations that are mandatory that you have personal experience with?

I built a street parking app because I was losing my mind circling my own block

I live in NYC and drive here. Like everyone else, I've spent a stupid amount of my life circling for parking, and I've eaten more alternate-side tickets than I want to admit.

So I spent the last several months building an app for it. It's called aSpot. Drivers report open and occupied spots, and the map shows you block-level availability in real time. It also reads NYC parking signs and tells you in plain English how long you can actually stay, and reminds you before your time runs out.

Honest state of things: it just got through Apple's beta review and I'm looking for real NYC drivers to break it. The map is only as good as the people on it, so right now it's thin. I'm specifically hoping to get enough people in a few neighborhoods that it's actually useful there instead of half-useful everywhere.

It's currently free. No ads. I'm not trying to sell anything yet.

If you drive in this city and want to try it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Jd46aRZ8

And if you'd rather just tell me what would make it useless to you, that's genuinely helpful too. I'd rather hear it now than after I've built the wrong thing.

Happy to answer anything about how it works.
