Launch HN: Got-it (YC W19) – Bluetooth labels for tracking things at work
This is cool as hell. Would love to see this re-adapted for regular end-user (non-business) use, as my husband and I use tile for this and it's sort of crap. Why is tile crap?<p>* the find-your-phone feature activates by accident all the time in our pockets, which can be pretty embarrassing. If I could I would just disable that feature as google home can find my phone just fine.<p>* when I actually lose my keys/wallet, the tile typically won't connect. In a meeting when my keys press against my wallet, it connects without fail.<p>* the batteries die pretty quickly, and the only recourse is to buy a new tile<p>* there doesn't seem to be (and should be) some sort of proximity tech based on roundtrip time -- make it beep rapidly as roundtrip time gets shorter (waiting for massive comments about why this doesn't necessarily indicate proximity)
