Hello Product Hunters 👋 Have you ever stumbled looking through endless reviews and filtered images of restaurants or sightseeing spots when visiting a new city? Or due to the global pandemic, your love for traveling has been postponed, but you still want to see the “real” life of THAT country you daydream until the next visit. With Spot, you can browse videos found in places that you dream of, feel nostalgic, or never heard of.Spot is here to help you explore in times of unordinary. Hi, I am Tyler, and I am a mobile app developer finding app-developing as my “healthy” guilty pleasure (while secretly hoping one of my apps will someday reach 1 million download😎). This Global Pandemic has been tough, making traveling a long past memory. How about taking a virtual tour through Spot? There are fascinating and real-life videos posted from all over the world to share the experience. On my daily walks around the neighborhood, I thought of how great it would be to share my unknown, yet beautiful and lively, neighborhood to people around the world. Not just sharing, but also discovering fascinating places I yet know at the same time. Spot allows users to record a short video, which gets automatically pinned on a map when uploaded. Videos are available anytime for users to discover more. . Here are two ways to enjoy Spot (and of course more!) : 🏠 Discovering hot spots near you: I have walked gazillion steps around my neighborhood since covid — only options we have mostly, right? During my daily walks, I found hundreds of amazing places including cafes, tasty local restaurants, and a park with abundant greenery. By posting these scenic views on Spot, I can maybe inspire someone who is looking for a nice restaurant for dinner in the same area. Even for the future travelers, Spot can be your inspiration travel board — Say if you ever visit Tokyo, don’t forget to visit my favorite restaurant in Shinagawa! 🌎 Going on a virtual journey across the globe: In spring, you can see the fully-bloomed cherry blossoms in Kyoto; watch the craze of Miami parties; In fall, play the cheering Oktoberfest in Germany; and in winter view the aurora in Norway from your home. Everyday, there will be new discoveries somewhere in the world, igniting our curiosity to discover more. Thanks to users who have already posted videos, we have already a collection of amazing videos from all over the world. These are just mere examples of adventuring with Spot, and I’m sure there are millions more to be creative. How would you use Spot?
