Great welcome letter upon login!

cheers Mike – we definitely agree with that those 'delightful surprises' can make all the difference!
This is a great update. I've always been torn between Maptia and Hi () for location-based articles/essays, but this sets Maptia apart. Maptia was already an awesome source for travel content, so I'm pumped to see it improve even more. Content is easier (and more pleasing) to find, and the new "Totem" story editor is lovely (and calling each article a "story" is a nice touch). Can't wait to document my study abroad travels on here!
Congrats, and team. :) I have to ask the unfair question: what's your favorite story on Maptia?

phew, tough one! Can we have two ;) In terms of photography, Steve McCurry’s ‘Colors of Afghanistan’ is sublime (we haven’t featured this yet so it’s a Product Hunt sneak peak!) However as British founders, we also found the ’Subterranean London’ story that exposes glimpses of London’s hidden underworld absolutely fascinating:

Howdy Hunters! For the past 1,000 days, my two co-founders and I have been on a startup (mis)adventure spanning four continents and via Techstars and Startup Chile, whilst on our journey to build Maptia. Today we’re thrilled to release the all-new Maptia 2.0 into the wild! We have been gathering a world of remarkable stories (so far covering 122/196 countries around the world) and our community of founding storytellers range from passionate amateurs to National Geographic Adventurers, and from nonprofits like charity: water to world renowned photographers such as Steve McCurry. Hope you enjoy exploring and comment below if you have any questions for us!
congrats on the launch. beautiful layouts. this is my favorite page on the site:
Love the onboarding, really really slick
Wow, the UI is really really smooth! Jonny, was the 2.0 version also built from the villa in Morocco?

Thanks ! Some was yes (using the 4MB/s broadband and router that was duct-taped through the window!) but we relocated to Switzerland earlier this year.
beautiful site :)
so good!
Congrats on a great update! If anyone has a chance to meet team Maptia in person, do it! (ask to sing some tunes)
Big up and the crew. Good to see some fresh UX+UI and all the best getting all the adventurers on the platform.
