Maps and posts are the two building blocks of YouMap. Get the difference and everything else makes sense.
1. A map is a collection
A map gathers places around one idea, like Emily in Rome or Best festivals in Europe.
- Every map has a name, a cover, and a Map key of post types
- Follow a map and its new posts show up in your Home feed
- Anyone can create one in about a minute
2. A post lives on a map
A post is one story about one place: a photo, a tip, a review.
- Every post is pinned to a real location on the map
- Posts use the map's key, so everything stays organized
- One place can collect posts from many people
3. Your feed brings them together
Your Home feed shows posts from the maps you follow.
- New posts from followed maps land in your feed
- Posts also appear as bubbles on the map itself
- Tap a bubble to open the story behind it
Maps hold the places. Posts tell their stories. That is the whole model.
