I've moved around a lot. Finding information is easy. Finding people is weirdly hard.So I made this — a map where you drop a pin and see who else is around.Filter by digital nomads, freelancers, remote workers, retirees. See if they just arrived or have been there for years.Spot someone interesting? Send a message.No signup. No feed. No tracking. No algorithm. Just a map.More like exploring than scrolling.Built with Next.js, Supabase, and Leaflet.

A small web app where people appear on a world map is positioned in show hn launch, a segment that rewards a clear, focused offering.
