In Arendal, it's not easy to get an overview of all the exciting places and events happening. The information landscape is very fragmented. We believe this is true for many other communities too. When you sit at home, if it's easier to watch videos on your phone than to go out and meet new people because you don't know where to go, you will probably end up watching videos.
This is the problem Places is solving for. It's a digital product to help you find things to do locally or when travelling, in a fun, beautiful, and simple way.
For now, yes. The map covers Grimstad to Tvedestrand, with a focus on Arendal. This is the perfect place for us to build. We live here, we have a network, and it is easy for us to gather feedback from users.
We are in discussion with partners in adjacent towns, as well as Bergen, and Tofino (Canada) to open the map there. If you are interested in using Places in your location, don't hesitate to contact us. We are moving fast!
Places and its default features will always be free and free of ads. If we build a product people love, we believe there will be opportunities for us to generate enough revenue to sustain the project by delivering premium features and support.
But first, we need to make a product people love. ❤️
