Eta eta
Confirmed a minyan BH.

This idea would make a good app unless there's an existing one already?

have tried this in the past, not very effective.

Was thinking along the line of a WhatsApp group.

At airports, especially big connection hubs I would say at any given day during shacris hours, there is a (at least) minyan davening -ביחידות.

For instance just last month at ZRH I was able to round up a minyan by going to the 3 lounges and duty free.

I guess a dedicated location based app would do

GoDaven is overhauling their site. Dunno if this is part of their plan.

Something to that effect, which you confirm your taking a flight out of x airport and all the other frum passengers who's in the same terminal check in as well and sets an option where everyone should meet for davening.

 As well shows there's x amount of people avlb for a minyan from x time to x time while people have flights at different times so you would need the app to somehow sync with all the peopls flights schedules and...

i think more around location based not just for flights, so you would just post a location and a date/time, if you're at a location you can just search nearby or you can enter a location to search

I've heard of apps that do that for meeting purposes.
Obviously I can't think of the names now.

How much money would be needed to be raised to start working on such an app?

 We can start a campaign to collect money for such an app and I'm sure we can get some funding sources, we can start the campaign here on DDF and spread the word and explain the purpose of the app...

 I would assume an average person's mindset is if there is 10 people great if there is not then also great, but now if an app would be established and one can be in the loop if there will be 10 people at this location at this time I'm sure I'll one would make it his business to run across the terminal to catch the minyan.
 Mi kiamcha yisroel.. where ever we are always looking to help, even to help reach 10 for a minyan. :)
