Circle (YC W11) – If Highlight And Path Had A Beautiful Ambient Location Child

This is a gorgeous app - look at that icon.

Evan Reas is incredibly driven and is going to make something work via sheer force of will.

Ha I remember thinking that was possible when I started building companies.

Turns out it takes will + many years.

What happened to Likealittle and LAL?

[aneth]

Likealittle seems to have died. It was a very clever, savvily marketed, but faddish idea that probably could have been leveraged into a college dating platform, but the product never seems to have evolved.

Circle looks like a great pivot though. From my brief experiment with Highlight (deleted for being a useless battery drain,) this looks like it got a few more things right.

Outside of Google, it's rare to see a seriffed font for branding in this kind of app. It stands out.

http://getarrived.com is a similar app.

this actually looks pretty good, first time I say this for a location-baed app.
