DockMe.

know if there will be a dock when you get there.

Citi Bike routing only matters if you can return the bike at the end. DockMe is the app I am building around that moment: check the destination dock, see the risk, and keep a backup nearby. The current web analysis uses captured station snapshots to turn return-room history into something I can actually make a ride decision with.

the thinking

01
Catalyst

The annoying Citi Bike failure mode is not always finding a bike. It is arriving at the destination and circling because every dock is full.

02
Decision

Start with dropoff confidence, not a full transit app. The useful surface is the nearest dock, the backup dock, and how often that spot gets thin by day and hour.

03
Status

The web analysis is live with captured station snapshots. The app direction is DockMe: a small destination-dock check that can become part of a normal ride-planning flow.
