About Hereabout App
HEREABOUT is a location-verified map for sharing and discovery. Drop a pin and add photos, voice, or video. Go live from your location. Explore GPS-verified posts from locals, travelers, and creators right where things happened. EVENTS • Create or join ongoing and upcoming events on the map. • Organizer tools: full moderation of posts, attendees, and event rules. • Event chat for real-time coordination. • Directions to the event location. • Attendees can join an event and go live to share their own perspectives; these streams are saved to the event for future replay. • Share the event to invite others and grow attendance. • All live streams are saved for replay on the map and in their events. LAYERS - Thematic Layers: food, street art, hikes, history, nightlife, and more. - Regional Layers: set a geographic boundary such as a neighborhood, park, city, or region. Only posts created inside the boundary are eligible. A post from Paris cannot be pinned inside an NYC Layer. - Anyone with an account can create Layers, set rules, moderate submissions, and invite co-moderators. WHY PEOPLE TRUST HEREABOUT - GPS verification ties posts to real places and reduces noise. - Regional boundaries enforce in-area posting automatically. - Clear controls: choose visibility (public, followers, or private). Edit or remove your posts at any time. - Safety tools: report content or block accounts. - Privacy: we do not sell your personal data. See the in-app Privacy Policy for details. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Drop a post: pin your spot and add a photo, voice note, or video to leave useful breadcrumbs. - Go live: stream moments as they happen at a specific place on the map. - Discover nearby: browse authentic tips from people who were on the ground. - Build Layers: curate collections around themes, neighborhoods, routes, or events. - Follow places and people: keep up with trusted locals and creators, save spots, and plan visits. GOOD FOR - Building communities around shared interests and real places. - Hosting meetups, pop-ups, walks, cleanups, rides, and festivals with live perspectives and chat. - Creating regional hubs with clear boundaries and community moderation. - Finding coffee, trailheads, street food, photo spots, and pop-ups quickly. - Mapping events as they happen, with live streams at the exact location and replay after. - Capturing memories where they occurred with photos, voice, video, or live. - Turning local knowledge into shared, living guides people can trust. GETTING STARTED 1. Open the map and enable location. 2. Explore nearby posts and Layers. 3. Create a Layer and set your rules. 4. Invite co-moderators, approve posts, and grow your community. OUR MISSION Hereabout unites communities through the power of place and story. By bridging the digital and the physical, we help people share what they find, connect with others, and leave a meaningful mark. OUR APPROACH HEREABOUT is built by a small, independent team. We design for people on the ground, not a conglomerate’s ad stack. You control your posts and who sees them, and you can edit or remove them at any time. Anyone with an account can create a Layer, set rules, moderate submissions, and invite co-moderators. Communities become stewards of their places and themes.
