Hyper

A hyperlocal social commerce network that helps people discover what’s happening nearby, in real time -

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Exciting rebranding coming.

Exciting features coming too.

The platform has been running super table for the last few months. MAU increasing. Only way is up! 🆙

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Hyper turns every local place into a living profile, not just an address on a map.

It's the time to build the best location based social commerce network.

Location based social commerce network

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

I’m alive!

[Kristof Kowalski @krzko]

And a new geo location social network is born.

First production check in on Hyper @GetHyperApp

For too too long we’ve lived in the 1.0 check in era. This space has not innovated one iota. It’s time to give it a bump.

This is the line in the sand and we innovate from here.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

The hardest part about building local isn’t the tech.

It’s solving…

Empty maps. Cold starts, and making sure the first 100 people don’t feel like beta testers.

We’re thinking a lot about that first 100.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Your neighbourhood already has a social network.

It’s called:

* the bar staff
* the barista
* the regulars

We’re just trying to make that network a tiny bit more visible.

Sneak peak of the app.

We have a concept of Activities to enrich our check-ins. One such activity is Watching.

Shout out to the One Piece fans!

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We’re not here to build yet another feed.

We’re here to make it ridiculously easy to:

➡️ See what’s on nearby
➡️ Rally your crew
➡️ Unlock little perks for showing up

That’s all we’ll say… for now 👀

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We’re quietly collecting stories about:

⌚️ Last-minute hangs
🫥 Hidden menu items
🙌🏻 You had to be there nights

One day soon, your phone will be better at catching those moments.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Some apps want you scrolling at home.

We want you out:

🏃‍♀️ walking
🍜 eating
🍻 having one more

If we do our job right, you’ll spend less time in our app, not more.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Looks like our social features are done.

Timeline looking hyped

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

There’s a big gap between:

Google: This place exists.
Friends: This place is actually good.

We’re building closer to the second one.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Hot take:

Your neighbourhood doesn’t need more ads.

It needs more signals; tiny hints that something fun, useful, or surprising is happening nearby.

We’re working on that layer.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We’re building for:

The bartender who knows all the regulars

The café that has a quiet mid-week special

The crew who just want “somewhere good, near us, now”

If that’s you, we’re thinking about you a lot.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Quietly shipping, loudly learning.

Talking to locals, venue owners, and crews that actually go out, not just people on slides.

If it doesn’t work on a busy Friday night, it doesn’t work.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

Design principle we keep coming back to:

Show me what matters in 5 seconds or less.

Phones are crowded. Your attention is precious. Our job is to earn it, not waste it.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We believe:

Friends’ recommendations > anonymous star ratings.

Real moments > polished reviews
Context > noise.

So we’re building around that.

Carefully.

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We’re experimenting with tiny nudges, not loud notifications.

Less “HEY COME BACK TO THE APP”

More “Hey, something nearby just got interesting, if you’re already out.”

[Hyper @hyperdotlc]

We’re quietly testing an idea:

What if “what’s happening nearby” wasn’t a spreadsheet of events…

…but felt more like a living, breathing stream of the city?
