I think the original title referred to how this was some group of teenagers' first coding project. I think the mods should change it back - this shouldn't be viewed with the same harsh eyes as many startups are.

Not sure why it was changed. This app was coded by Berkeley freshman as their first app in honor of a professor that passed away this year who wanted this app when getting picked up by others to visit the hospital often. You can read it in the Apple Store notes of the app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/moby-simple-location-sharing...

"This application was made in honor of Professor Yale Braunstein (1945 - 2012)."

What was the original title?

I dont remember exactly, but I think it was something like "Mo.by: first coding project by a group of teens"

The original title was: "Moby: Location Sharing App coded by teens (their first app)"
