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.

Any news on this topic so far?

I got similar ideas on a geo centric social network so I'm excited it is already been discussed.

Any draft projects implementing the idea yet?

Hey, I'm so sorry that I missed this message for so long. I hope you're still interested. Yes, I'm building Habitat: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/

I appreciate that even that post is very old now, but it is under active development.
