Since my free trials expired, memomap.me is down indefinitely. It lives on in our hearts!

MemoMap

MemoMap is a web-based mapping application that enables the sharing of location-based information. With its simple and intuitive interface, anyone can contribute to and access the community's knowledge about the world around them.

Placing a memo takes two clicks, after which it is visible to everyone in the area.

Features

  • Easy to use interface for posting memos about locations
  • Crowdsourced information for discovering hidden gems and enhancing community experience
  • No login required, open to everyone
  • Ideal for businesses to reach a wider audience and advertise products/services
  • Built using open-source libraries and APIs (Leaflet, FingerPrintJS, OpenStreetMap)

Contribute

MemoMap is an open-source project and contributions from the community are encouraged. Pull requests in the form of graphical and/or UI improvements are especially helpful.

NOTE: MemoMap is built on a LAMP stack and requires an appropriately-configured MySQL database to function. Documentation to come.

Get Started

To start using MemoMap, visit memomap.me and start exploring. Join the community, post some memos, and help annotate your neighborhood/hiking trail/campus/anything else!

Ideas for Future Improvements:

  • Ditch fingerprinting for tried and tested logins to better identify users.
  • Improve security! The app is currently very susceptible to spam from malicious users.
    • Implement a captcha-like system to counter bots
  • Language filtering / harmful content flagging
  • Rating system for memos
    • Ratio of good:bad ratings impacts odds of memo being displayed
  • Cluster nearby markers in crowded areas
  • Allow users to edit their memos
  • Allow users to create memos that expire after some time
