@lupyuen it's okay. But i doubt that it's not going to get abused in the future.

@ravenclaw Yeah but an entire generation of kids will grow up with the assumption that it's OK to carry a gadget and be tracked...

On the other hand, we will have an awesome app for parents to track the whereabouts of their kids 😉

I'm sorry if i sound somewgat rude
But doesn't "hauk" app already come up with this idea ? "Self host location sharing"
Maybe you could contribute to their project or set up an family friendly instance.
here's their repo.
github.com/bilde2910/Hauk
The only thing that makes people go away from open source and self hosting is the hassle.
Since most of them have this set of mind :
"why do i need to set up my instance or running this set of software if i could just do the same task with a one click on this app (a prioprietary program)"
At least that's what i thought before opening myself to learn more about foss.
