ahí = there (shorter distance than allí)
allí = there (short distance away)
allá = way over there

This was according to him. Just sharing for another data point. I am not saying this is the correct meaning.
Seems OK to me! (Just added the accent on 'aquí') (And maybe 'allí' is farther away than 'ahí')
