Overview

The street vendor, one tap away

The shift

  1. You hear the kart after it has passed
    Every truck and kart near you, live on the map
  2. No idea what it has until you walk out
    Its items and prices before it reaches you
  3. Shouting from the balcony to make it stop
    Raise your hand; the vendor gets it and stops
  4. Guessing when it will be back
    Its schedule: where it will be, and when

Day and night

Night markets and late food trucks are half the point, so the key screens come in light and dark.

Raise your hand

The one idea the app is built around: see a vendor near you, pick what you want and raise your hand. The vendor gets it on their phone with how far you are and what you want, and stops at your spot. Both sides, side by side. It plays on its own; tap anything and it’s yours.

    Day and night

    Food trucks do their best trade after dark, so the key screens have a dark design too. Drag across the phone to compare, point at it to inspect.

    Same shapes, both themes

    Surfaces and cards flip from white to near black. The red of every action and the yellow of offers, ratings and the raised hand hold, so the next tap is just as easy to find at night.
