Map Lists 🗺

This is a rough draft studying the idea of building a platform where anyone can create their own map listings in the likes of airbnb, foursquare, booking, trip advisor, etc..

Why ?

Existing map based location suggestion apps are broken.

And the biggest reason is user's divergent tastes.

What is 5⭐ for one person can easily be 1⭐ for another

The Solution

Curated lists that weight user's listings ratings based on taste similarity with the curator(s).

Taste similarity 🍷

By comparing user's ratings with each other it's possible to get an idea of how similar or different they are.
