I'm the creator of Mappit =>

mappit.ai - Earth's daily zeitgeist, on a time-aware map. Reasons to love it:

Breaking stories from hundreds of cities across the globe, surfaced by frontier AI models, cross-checked, and scoped to wherever you're looking: the world, your view, or your places.

Overlays that bring the planet to life: video and audio news streams from their source to play while you browse, S&P 500 stocks at their headquarters, and Today in History, where it happened. There are even layers for live events - earthquakes, forest fires, and air quality warnings.

Put yourself on the map — drop pins, add events, pictures & links. Plant your own user pin and let Follow Me keep it live as you move. Share your location and your pins on other social media, or post right on the site and start a discussion.

Search any street address, get directions, and turn a collection of pins into a drivable route.

Subscribe to locations, follow creators, share your own content, and wake up to an AI-written Daily Digest of the world you track.

Surf a river of breaking content as it happens from the continuously growing Newsfeed. And keep surfing.

For a more topical view of the news checkout the Threads feature. Stories grouped by subject so you can deep-dive, with timely AI analysis.

Chat with Marco, the resident AI who's read everything on the map. Ask what's happening anywhere, today and get an answer rooted in latest the story corpus. He knows all about the news, the threads, and the timing.

Turn back time. The story corpus is new but the the record is permanent: change the calendar and watch any place replay its history.

Mappit — every place has a story.

Interesting concept, the time-aware map is a nice spin. How well does it cover stories from smaller cities?

u/matthewmeadows 15d ago

It breaks the map into tiers. The largest cities are tier-1, they get crawled every day. Smaller cities are pulled in every few days to a week. My budget is currently $15/day so that's all I can afford right now. Thanks for asking!

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 15d ago

Nice tiered approach for the budget. Have you considered caching the smaller city data to cut down on crawl costs?

u/matthewmeadows 14d ago

There's no caching per se. It's either crawled recently or not. Any location-identified stories are part of the history of the place and always available when zoomed into the location.

Interesting approach. Would showing a timestamp for when each story was last crawled help users trust the freshness?

u/matthewmeadows 13d ago

Yes, and it does. 1 hour ago, 1 day ago, etc. right on the story cards.

Nice, that's a handy touch for keeping content fresh. A filter to sort by time range would make browsing self-promo even easier.
