I'm excited to show off #Atlas - a social mapping server for the #Fediverse. In about two weeks, we've gone from crazy on I70 to a fledgling app that lets me annotate any location on the globe and share it over #ActivityPub
There's still a lot to do. But there's enough here for me to ask for your help. I would love to hear what you think of this short video, and to start talking to everyone out there who's interested in making maps on the Fediverse.

I'm expecting this kind of street-level annotation to have lots of uses, from groups of friends replicating #FourSquare, to communities organizing events, or citizen #Journalists recording what's going on in their neighborhood.
Please share this with anyone who might benefit from sharing location notes online. It's time for me to start collecting some needs from real-world users.

@benpate Sounds like it could be used for reporting ICE? Like those apps that were banned recently.

@benpate Ben this is so impressive!
I canāt come up with coherent comments or questions just now but Iām definitely tuned in and pondering how this connects to all my Future Cities/civic tech tangles.
Cc @samnabi this is one of the āsomebody had an idea sometime around FediForum two weeks ago and now thereās a whole new dimensionā¦ā things I was trying to explain. I will include Benās FediCON talk in what I send you, as well.

@benpate Super cool! I wish the README had instructions on how to run this
