Made completely in MeteorJS and with 10k users in the waiting list, Boutline caters to sports fans and drives sport conversations. You can follow teams, meet other fans and share moments with them. Would love to get your feedback on the product.
a couple of more users signing up and you will see the magic happen. The positions of teams will keep switching, points increase and markers appear in real time.
This is similar to the Represent.la project for startups, except for Football fans. You can deduce a lot of interesting things. Which team is popular in which city and country, who is the nearest fan to you, spotting friends nearby, favorite hangouts for each team's supporters. Can also be extended to fan club meetups, cheers during the match etc.
We just deployed our site using Meteor 0.9.3. Everything seems to be working fine for us. Was initially a little anxious to deploy on 0.9.3 but managed to do it without any hassle. Its now live on http://map.boutline.com/. I must say Meteor has gotten much better in a short span of time. Im sure they are working day and night to ship a stable V1.
We have experts in our team who know what's not allowed in certain countries. There's a Google Adwords like system in place where once you post a package it is reviewed to check whether it's legal to take that thing to the destination city. The traveler is also intimated about any suspicious activity. I understand that this is just a preliminary check an that it's impossible to make the system completely bulletproof considering people find crazy ways to ship cocaine and drugs. But this is a chance we are willing to take. We try to do everything to ensure transparency and will plug all holes one at a time.
We are aware of the consequences that could arise from security glitches. We already have a few things in place to improve security and we are coming up with many more. We are setting up a semi automated way to filter suspicious packages. Also, We plan to have people stationed at airports who can handover and pick up packages to inspect them before giving to/taking from travelers. We have also teamed up with ecommerce retailers to help deliver to places they dont normally delivery. When an ecommerce company is delivering stuff through you, you have more reason to trust the package contents. Travelers have an option of rejecting packages which they are uncomfortable delivering.
