Hereabout

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.

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.

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.
