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.
Yes, I would use this a lot! That’s an incredibly exciting idea and something that I think is desperately needed for the fediverse. I hate to say it, but I think this is something that other (currently more popular) platforms still have an advantage over.
As someone that travels for work, it’s not always easy for me to learn where and what my resources are. I could see a platform like this being able to help out immensely.
Buying/selling/donating groups are something that immediately comes to mind too.
It’s such a joy to read this kind of feedback, and to know that not only would it be enjoyable to have such a platform, but you can foresee that it would be useful. I think I might ask some developers who have experience with building decentralised platforms to see if they think there would be technical issues.
Absolutely! I’m no developer, but I’d be happy to give feedback or help any way that I can, just let me know. Keep us updated too!
