I’ve seen many that are map first. There are N student projects alone that have done this. So maybe the execution was never good but: 1. Why do people want this 2. What’s special about this execution? Map first isn’t new. Flickr was super successful. None of these other implementations have been. Lots of other photo-oriented things have been successful in the past so it’s clear the market is there. IG also fundamentally changed the UX with the feed, mobile-first design, its filters to make things look better easily, etc. These were very meaningful changes. I don’t want to crap on others putting themselves out there. It’s hard and vulnerable, I know. But you have to at least acknowledge the space you’re going into and why this is different.
