ShuGo — みんなの、ちょうどいい集合場所

"Where should we meet?" discussions usually end with someone giving in. ShuGo (Gathering) is an app that eliminates that hassle.

What it can do

• Enter each participant's departure station and mode of transportation (walking, train, car, taxi, bicycle), and it displays meeting place candidates on a map.
• Rather than minimizing total travel time, it uses the approach of minimizing the burden on the person who has to travel the farthest, so "one person having to go way out of their way" becomes less likely.
• Three criteria: shortest time, shortest distance, cheapest fare. For trains, fares are included in the comparison, and you can check "why this location?" on the results screen.
• Once decided, you can access nearby shops, share cards, split bills, and add to calendar (.ics) all from the same screen.
• Send an invitation link, and the other person can answer their departure point without logging in.

How to use
No login required. On the web, you can use it directly in your browser → meetshugo.app (covers stations within Japan)

We're recruiting testers for the Android version (closed testing in progress)
Participation takes 2 steps, no email needed. Using the same Google account:

1. Google グループに参加する
2. Play で「テスターになる」を押す

Step 1 alone does not constitute participation. Due to Play Store requirements, we'd appreciate it if you could use it continuously for 14 days without dropping out. iOS is in preparation.
