Could We Build a Decentralised Social Platform Rooted in Place? (carlnewton.github.io)

Over the past year or so I’ve been playing with the idea of a decentralised social platform based on your location. By putting physical location at the centre of the experience, such a platform could be used to bring communities together and provide a source of local information when travelling. Please let me know what you guys think.

😃 well, tbf I feel that we have plenty of solutions for finding like-minded people. Social platforms for hobbies etc. We're communicating on one right now, but a local platform would be for communicating with people that might not necessarily be like-minded, but would still have the same interest in mind. The interest of how much parking is, or what the opening hours are, or what this weird statue in the woods is all about. The interest is the place and that alone is what would connect people.
