About YouMap 社交媒体地图

YouMap 结合了社交媒体和地图。该应用程序使用户能够通过标记地点或事件来创建生活中重要时刻的地图。地图是地理空间数据集合，用户可以在其中添加社交帖子并导入照片等数据。用户可以与其他人共享他们的地图或加入已经创建的地图，在其中可以添加新内容。他们可以通过使用可配置字段（例如值滑块、星级、多项选择和其他均可编辑的区域）来控制信息在地图上共享的方式。 YouMap 为创作者和社区提供了一种独一无二的体验。

Unique Properties: Most social networks give a premium to popularity. On YouMap the most important person is the one on the ground with the information you need. A patented visualization system displays information ephemerally to track fast moving events. Thousands of posts can be shown on a city block without any data overcrowding. Built for live reporting, our flexible moderated communities have customized post flows to give YouMap the purpose our users choose.
Dimensions & Packaging: The app is a native app, currently only available on the iOS platform.
Tags: social media, map, social media map, community, templates, posts
Production Technology: We used the following tools: Sketch, InVision, Adobe After Effects, Miro and Zeplin.
Design Challenge: YouMap’s 4 approved patents reflect considerable design challenges. We aimed to bring value from unstructured data locked in the human crowd. Data on most social platforms is unstructured, limiting value. YouMap’s content blocks structure human data like an API would. It was a challenge to display thousands of posts without crowding. This was overcome by gathering cues about a post’s importance and showing more important posts at a higher zoom resulting in a 30,000 foot view of our human world.
Inspiration: The inspiration behind YouMap was the desire to help others following the Black Lives Matter protest in Baltimore, Maryland. This crisis along with other major global events illustrated the need to address problems with our current social media platforms. Specifically, the inability of social feeds to paint the bigger picture, and better utilize information from the human crowd to share useful insights and information to others.
Project Duration: The project has been going on in Cracow since 2019.
Operation Flow: Maps are the basic foundational component in YouMap. A map in YouMap is a geospatial data set where social postings are made and where data is imported. Our user onboarding includes a series of interactions that result in a tailored experience facilitating both fun exploration and . As such, a user is able to interact with map creating tools that enable customization based on the user’s needs.
