I was considering going freelance myself and these are questions I also considered. I hope someone with experience replies and we can turn this into a very useful post.


What country are you in?


UK


Yes. When the user opens the app I will get their current location and add it to a column in the database 'currentLocation' Then I will query the database like so: select * from users where userOnlineStatus = 'online' and currentLocation = ""; <- That is what I would want to do. Its just calculating the distance so that not all random users are showing up.


Thanks for the awesome reply. Gonna do some more googling now I know a little more what i'm looking for :)


I would but the question is vague and has no code so will only be closed and downvoted.


There are also places like reddit that has a subreddit for basically everything.


I'm not too sure but flappy bird the game only got successful overnight because someone hated how crap it was and posted it onto Buzzfeed. Then it went viral.


TouchArcade was the first mainstream venue to report on it.

Then, eventually, PewDiePie, the #1 Youtube star by views, took it to to the exosphere.
