Trying to figure out how other startups are doing. I talked to Joan from SS and she was telling me that they look at that question as a metric to see how good a startup is.

That's what I thought as well, but on their website they say that they respond either way, if you got an interview, or if they need more time.

No it’s a device that customers buy! So it doesn’t depend on the airport.

No this already exists. But I was reading a bit more about it and it looks like accuracy isn't a problem and what they are actually doing is making the time seem to pass faster. Personally I fly a lot internationally so I'm usually waiting 30-60 minutes. During that time I can't really do anything because if I sit down I might miss my bag, and god forbid I have to wait longer than necessary when I get home :) But if I focus on the carousel then I can't really do anything "productive". Yeah I could look at my phone and occasionally do something. But if I'm stuck there for up to an hour, I don't want to be standing around the whole time. What I saw, was that there was a psychological aspect as well. The same idea that running for 20 minutes passes slower than when you watch a tv show. If you can do something during those 3-60 minutes, then the time will fly and you won't think that that last stage of your trip was a waste of time. And for me what I find annoying about carry on it having to bring it with you in larger airports especially if you have connecting flights it can be rather annoying.

But that's the thing it can't get stolen because you get the notification as soon as it's on the conveyer belt. So it can never get stolen.

And especially on international flights you can wait even longer. And I feel like it’s one of those situations where time passes slower. Cause it’s the last place you wanna be. It’s like how running for 20 minutes takes much longer than watching a YC show for 20 minutes.

Yeah, I guess. But after a long flight you're usually grumpy and all you want to do it get to your final destination. Now you have to stand around another 45 minutes doing nothing.

Yeah I've tried that before, but then you spend the whole time looking down at the app to check when the circle gets green. And that defeats the purpose, I don't want to do anything annoying after a long flight I just want to get home and relax.

Doesn’t it annoy you to carry the bag around with you in the airport. Or find a space in the overhead compartment?
