It points at a person, not north. Someone sends you a
nine-character code; the arrow turns to face wherever they were, from
wherever you're standing. It goes green when you're looking right at them.
It's a snapshot, not tracking. A code records where
someone was the moment they made it. It never updates, and there is
nothing anywhere that could update it. For a fresh direction, ask for a
fresh code.
Locations are rounded to about 100 m before they
go into a code. Across this kind of distance that points in exactly the
same direction, and it keeps an address out of a chat thread.
Sharing is your call. A code works for anyone holding
it, and it travels through whatever app carries it. Send it to someone
you'd tell your whereabouts anyway.
No accounts, no server. Nothing leaves your phone but
the code you send. It works with no signal at all — add it to your Home
Screen and it opens like an app, and stops asking permission every time.
