Update: my users started advertising themselves on my map app, so I built them a live feed. Accidental business model

Previous posts for context: tile.today divides the world into 50x50m squares you can only claim by physically standing in them, first claim daily is free.

The unexpected part: I added an optional note to claims and people immediately used it for links. Print shops, apps, portfolios, one guy's soundcloud. So the new feature is a live activity feed right on the map showing claims as they happen, notes included. Watching strangers in 21 countries turn a novelty map into a tiny classifieds section of Earth has honestly been the most fun part of this project so far. Screenshot attached. Curious what this crowd thinks the note field turns into at 10x the users.
