Show HN: Miru – discover/share/ask the precise locations of photos
- hongzi 5y agoIt happens so often that I stumble upon some breathtaking photos on Instagram, immediately have an urge to add to my bucket list, but struggle so hard to find where the photo is taken. I have also seen so many people asking for precise location whenever I post some good photos. To help this need, me and my friends build Miru. We want it to be a platform for people to discover, share or just directly ask where a photos is taken. On Miru, the current main functionalities are - Discover, choose and zoom in/out any location, search this area, and scroll through the photos and see where they are taken. - Ask & find, see what other users are asking for. Each circle is a rough location of the photo. Help answering with precise location if you are a local expert. Successfully found photos will join the discover page. - Collections, everyone can build a bucket list of places to go. - Upload, share or ask for the precise location of photos from a local file or from an Instagram link. - (Weather, a related project that we built, predict/notify epic sunset/sunrise) We are currently building a reward mechanism to recognize people who share or answer the location of a photo. For example, it can come in a form of bounty. Multiple users are interested in the same photo, jointly pay some points to who gives a correct answer. Using the points, one may unlock photo locations that only few knows. Let us know if you have any thoughts and feedback :) We can be also reached at contact@miru.app
