Where the nightis actually good.
Vibe Check is a live nightlife network: short video posts, crowd ratings and venue vibes that expire, so the feed always reflects what is happening right now.

The Challenge
What made it hard.
Live video at nightlife volume, geo-scoped feeds, and moderation that keeps up — all on phones with one bar of signal inside a basement club.
Our Approach
How we built it.
We built an ephemeral geo feed with adaptive-bitrate upload, background retry, and an automated moderation pass before anything goes public.
