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.

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!

Hey, you asked to be kept updated, so I thought I'd let you know that I have been working on Habitat: https://carlnewton.github.io/posts/building-habitat/
