Bump Types
Bump Types do two things:
1) They help Bumpers quickly know what type of information is being shared, and
2) Like templates, they are designed to make the creation of the bump more efficient for what you would like to share. Also, some Bump Types have functionality that are only available to them.
In the table below, we will go through the various Bump Types available in the Bumping App. New Bump Types will be added as we discover new ways Bumpers like to share.
POST Bump Type Group
Post bump types are primarily for sharing content with Bumpers or for keeping track of things for yourself.
Share a place
This bump type is for sharing your experience at a physical location. It could be a restaurant, a salon, or even a park.
Share an article
This bump type is for content that has more structure and curation. Article bumps can have sub-bumps which would be great for creating best places type articles (e.g. Top 10 Dim Sum Restaurants in Hong Kong). It also enables rich-text to be used in the bump since articles should look well-designed.
Share a great eat
This bump type is for recommending a restaurant. In the future, we will have restaurant-specific fields as a template for this bump type.

Emotions Bump Type Group
Emotion bump types are only for friends-only pods. (You cannot post them to agora pods.) They are used to express more emotion at a place more candidly.
Heart emotion
“I love this”; “I really enjoyed this”
Poop emotion
“I really didn’t like this”; “I want to throw a poop at this place”
Note
“I got a message for you”
Surprise bump types do not show up on the intended recipients’ app until they are near the location where the surprise is left. When they do arrive at the location, they will get a notification that they stepped on the surprise (or not)! For surprises to work, the recipient Bumper needs to have location services enabled for the Bumping App and “Bump Me” enabled for the Friends-only pod.
Heart surprise
“A surprise to remind you of good times”
Poop surprise
“A surprise trap for you”
Note surprise
“A surprise message for you”
Egg surprise
“Something for you to find”
Bomb surprise
“You’re bombed!”
