Objections
Required Facebook login seen as unsafe and shady
From 3 comments
I don't want to be this guy, but the required Facebook login doesn't seem to be safe. There is no way of knowing is the real Facebook as it's not going though the fb app or…
hartator on HN"Request a limo" -> Surprise facebook login! that's a shame, this looked cool
finnn on HNDon't make me give you my Facebook password. Facebook already has a way to auth in.

Title called inaccurate as an Uber for one limousine
From 2 comments
Inaccurate title. This is Uber for ONE limousine.
ClassyJacket on HNIt's not even Uber for ONE limousine. You can summon an Uber and it'll be outside your door in minutes. Not this one :)

Requests
Notify users when the limo is nearby, with a range selector
From 1 comment
It would be great if there were a feature to notify the user when the limo is nearby, with a range away selector. Awesome concept and story, though!

Questions
Where the limo currently is
From 3 comments
Where is it right now? The screenshot shows an icon on a map, but I've zoomed out to the entire United States and it doesn't show up anywhere.
vortico on HNI believe it is in Oregon. Not 100% sure.
limeblack on HNWhen I hit the icon in the bottom right, it switches between showing my location and zooming in on NW 20th and W Burnside in Portland, OR. Sooo I assume it's there?
