This is what I hope this app does<br><br>• Inputs: your location, where you are currently, how you are traveling, and where you want to go<br><br>• Outputs: How much time you have until other people are at the beach where you want to go (i.e. crowdsourced by people using the app)<br><br>Example: You want to skip school and go to the beach at Malibu. You are currently at school in Santa Monica, you don't have a car, and you don't have money to take an Uber. You tell the app all of this, and it tells you that it will be 2 hours and 15 minutes until people start showing up at Malibu beach. It also gives you directions as to how to get there for free.<br><br>Another example: you want to skip school and go to the beach in Huntington Beach. You are currently at home in Laguna Beach and you have a car. It will be 3 hours, 47 minutes, and 2 seconds until other people show up at the beach in Huntington Beach.<br><br>Why this is a good idea: <br>- you save time and gas by not driving all the way to the beach if you know there are already people there<br>- you save time and gas by not going to the beach at a time when it is crowded <br><br>Why this will never actually happen: it would have to be super popular in a certain region for it to even work. Imagine telling your investors that your app is an app to help kids skip school - I don't think they would be very supportive.
