Lazztech Hub is a geolocation-based social app that lets you share with other “Hub” members when you are present at the Hub’s physical location in the world. You only see Hubs on the map that you are a part of. Hubs are private and invite-only. Hub members will only be able to see when other members are either present or away from the Hub, when the Hub is active, as opposed to other services that show all of your friends on a map at all times. This a quick and easy way to check in on what’s happening around you at your favorite gathering spots. As a host of a Hub, you'll foster gatherings by signaling when you’re available to gather at the space. This is done by sending out notifications to all Hub members when a hub owner activates the Hub.
