Superlocal

A map that learns what you love.

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

just found an old sketch of one of the first Superlocal logo ideas I made.

very, very different direction than where we ended up going.

i really like this new "under an hour" map app that's coming on the next Superlocal update!

it takes your fog of world + check-in history and instantly finds places you’d probably love within a 1 hour drive.

basically a quick, personalized map for "where should i go today?"

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

Superlocal is quickly becoming one map that can turn into any map

a map for place discovery, history learning, whale tracking, earthquakes, or whatever else you want to explore

the next app update brings us to 20+ apps, including earthquake tracking 🫨

just added another fun feature to Superlocal!

after you finish your check-ins, you can enter "fly-by mode" and replay your day on a 3D @mapbox map

or zoom out and watch your fog of world clear from an aerial view

feels like a tiny cinematic recap of everywhere you went

just shipped a big update to AI Place Search on Superlocal!

your results are now even more personalized to you, with a new “why this place” reason shown for each recommendation

the more you check in, save places, and let your timeline grow, the more Superlocal starts to understand what you actually like

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

just launched an AP x Swatch map app on Superlocal

it uses the Foursquare API to show real-time heatmaps and estimated wait times at Swatch stores around the world

basically, a line-waiting radar for Royal Pop 👀

if you could decide what gets added to the new Swarm app, what would you build?

what should we add, change, remove, or bring back?

give me brutal honesty and your dream features

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

we just added another (funky) Map App to Superlocal.. BAT TRACKER!

you can now see if there are any bats near you 🦇

[Superlocal @superlocalmaps]

@alexkehr big

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

another OG Swarm feature is back!

you can now filter your map by country, state, city, and more to instantly see everywhere you’ve been.

[Superlocal @superlocalmaps]

@sam_wood @om_patel5 that’s true 👀

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

the Swarm map is starting to feel alive again!

added new ways to explore your check-ins around the world... heatmaps, clusters, and little visual details that make your past travels feel way more fun to revisit

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

this is one of my favorite app animations of all time

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

i don’t think enough people realize Swarm is actively being worked on again

just added a new heatmap feature that shows what’s “swarming” nearby, plus some really fun new visualizations of your check-ins on the map

feels like the beginning of a much more alive Swarm

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

we just shipped another new map app in superlocal that feels weirdly interesting!

using @Foursquare data, we made a “closed places” map layer

now you can open the map and see all the places nearby that used to exist

ghosts of restaurants, bars, coffee shops, stores, and old routines 👻

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

we just added a Butterfly Tracker map app on Superlocal!

i'm honestly pretty surprised at how many people around the world actively photograph and track butterflies 🦋

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

we’re starting to roll out a completely new AI Search in Superlocal.

one of my favorite very beta features: you can @ mention yourself and ask questions about your world.

· "what was that coffee shop i went to in munich?"
· "show me places i’ve bookmarked in tokyo"
· "where do i keep going in SF?"

your map is becoming searchable with natural language!

[Alex Kehr @alexkehr]

this new Map App on Superlocal is weirdly fun!

it automatically turns your life into a heatmap of everywhere you spend time

it's pretty cool to be able to zoom around the world and see where you've spent your time

[Superlocal @superlocalmaps]

@alexkehr we invented time traveling
