What it does

Spotus is a mobile social-discovery product built around place and proximity. People can discover global or nearby rooms, join real-time conversations, share media, and move into private chats through an explicit request flow. The product spans a native client, authenticated API, geohash queries, background cleanup, push notifications, moderation, and production observability.
