Portfolio looks interesting, Life360 is big. Unfortunately, this website is poorly designed to put it lightly.

I get that one of the founders really likes Lovecraft, but spend some money and do the website right instead of finding cthulu pictures off of google images and pasting them into a template.

>Parents can use Life360 to track their teen’s location in real time. The company can use that data to sell car insurance.

I think apps which allow parents to monitor their kids and invade their privacy are bad for humanity.

You think? It seems like about the one valid use case for tracking. I bought phones for my kids on the proviso they would be primarily for safety purposes. Though it will start to get a bit grey as they get older.
