Mapnews.app - Your neighborhood's today, pinned on a living map

A map-based social app for your neighborhood. Instead of a follow feed, open the map to see what neighbors post nearby — local news, spots, events, and daily "Today's Neighborhood" photos. Record your town before it fades and share it worldwide, auto-translated in 11 languages.
