Fun facts:
👑 Similar to reddit, first person to create a public map becomes the admin.
👨🎓 All co-founders are currently studying together at Hyper Island.
🤔 Maplist started out as a suggestion system for citizens.
🚀 We have a map with locations of startups!
@danielbech I'm SO happy you made this: I have "reddit of maps" in my notes for years now but never got the time to build it!
Are you thinking of actually integrating to reddit? ie. providing a default blank map for every subreddit?
Great job, UI looks great :)

Hi @danielbech Nice idea!
Love the UI and the simple design.
I tried creating a few maps and here are a few suggestions:
1) The "create map" button/option doesn't seem to be accessible from all screens.
2) It would be great if you could create private maps and invite your friends to it.
3) The terms and conditions page leads to a "Create TOS map?" page? :) You might want to fix this.
4) The maps were showing in Swedish when I accessed it. It would be better if the locale of the user is used for the map.
Overall, great product! Kudos to you all!
PS: The startups map is cool.

While I like the idea, this doesn't seem usable yet. For one, there should be a "create map" button from the home screen after logging in. Why should I click someone else's map first before seeing the create map button?
Second, theres no way to jump to a specific address. I'm trying to make a map of places all over LA and I have to scroll and cross reference google maps to make sure I'm clicking the right location. Doing this uncovered a bug, I keep jumping back to my "current location" (after clicking the locate me button in the bottom right) when I switch between tabs.
I have always wanted an app where I can find cool local locations for photography, food or drinks. I just found a map of bars in amsterdam already, and discovered some places that I did not know about yet.
Pros:
Easy to use
Love the way of organizing spots by category
Cons:
Scrolling through the map is kinda slow
Missing a lot of content for now

Nice job!
Pros:
Love the simple UI and intuitive UI. The login via link is seamless
Cons:
Not immediately obvious how to create a new map.
Not great on mobile. Used a large phone (iPhone X) and the popups didn't fit and some didn't work at all (adding an emoji, when adding a location wasn't possible).
