What Would Dave Do?
Read full descriptionHide full description
Dave was a man who had been everywhere, eaten everything, and had a considered opinion on all of it. He cycled across Europe. He hitched across Turkey alone. He overland from Darwin to Paris over eight months. He drank his way through Prague at 28 cents a half-litre and called it a financial calamity he could absorb. He was your friend's dad who had actually done the things other people talk about. He answered questions the same way he travelled — directly, without much softening, and usually with a beer in hand. What Would Dave Do? is a decision-making app built around his real voice. Ask Dave anything — your career, a relationship, whether to send that email, whether to book the trip. He'll tell you what he thinks. Sometimes he'll push you. Sometimes he'll pump the brakes. Sometimes he'll just say something that makes you feel better about the whole thing. FEATURES — Ask Dave any dilemma, or pick from 100 quick questions — Over 500 responses written in his actual voice, drawn from decades of letters and journals — Dave's Ride — a side-scrolling cycling game featuring Dave on his bicycle, dodging Monday meetings, passive-aggressive emails, and awkward elevator rides — Tap Dave's face for a fresh set of questions, with a classic split-flap board animation — Beer ratings on every response. Because of course. Dave passed away in 2021. This app is a tribute — built by his family to keep his voice, his opinions, and his particular brand of no-nonsense wisdom alive. He would have had thoughts about the app. Mostly constructive. Probably delivered over a beer.
