I first learned of Street-Complete here and I really like it.

It’s satisfying to walk around, complete little tasks, and get prizes, scratching a similar itch to Pokemon Go.

Stuck waiting for someone? Add opening hours for a few local businesses.

Have a long walk ahead of you? See if you can add/check house addresses as fast as you can walk.

Want to walk off a few beers before heading home? Complete some tasks in the bar street.

Its a very constructive way to “be right” on the internet.

        It was unique time and experience at its peak. People moved on largely and if something as big and addicting as Pokémon couldn’t permanently make it popular then nothing will

        It will come back however in different form as the miniaturisation of VR headsets progresses and whenever it will be cool and comfortable to walk in one

        Walking with eyes glued to phone gets old real quick and can fucking kill you hence no matter how good game is this formula is dead. Many Darwin awards were handed out. My friend received one and another got just a nomination

          I know the E word is getting old here but I’ll say that “product degradation” occured for the reasons of increased revenue which was not for consumer benefit
