Build Urban Rider, because google maps kept trying to put me on the autobahn
So i built urban rider because google maps kept trying to put me on the autobahn on my moped. got tired of it and just made my own routing that actually treats scooters and mopeds like real vehicles instead of cars.
been working on it solo for a while now. the app is solid, people are using it, and it does what its supposed to do. routes that stay off highways, different profiles depending on what youre riding, voice guidance, all that. its doing okay but i need more traffic. organic stuff only goes so far when youre not some big company.
made a bunch of tiktoks and stickers and messed with the app store page. some of it works. most of it is just slow. figured this sub might be a decent place to put it out there since people here actually care about getting apps in front of users.
if you ride a scooter or moped and deal with the same routing problems check it out at urbanrider.app. any thoughts on what actually moves the needle for traffic these days would be useful.
