Hi PH'ers! We've been busy at Mapme building a new product, while continuing to grow our classic Excited to share it with you and hear your thoughts. We think that maps have the potential to become their own medium of storytelling and this product can make that happen. Mapme Stories is an incredibly easy tool for sharing stories through maps. Here are some examples: (Creation from web, usage from anywhere. ) It takes minutes to create something like that. You can embed videos, gifs, images, links, buttons all within the content. And of course you can easily share or embed them anywhere. You can even create custom maps, and upload your own background: (That's still in beta, if you want to try it out, ping us at ) If you want to give it a try, check out ✌️ Love to hear your thoughts, thanks!
Some typos in the UEFA map ;)

Thanks! made that one, we'll let them know.
I was doing something called MapItOff until the team broke off, and it was something a bit similar. This is cool! Also, have you checked out how Google tells a story when you take pictures and make one? (don't recall the name) there are cool inspiring things for a story like approach to maps there.
Maker
Nice! Google photos has an awesome feature that create maps with your photos. We want to do social integrations in future, pull from twitter etc.
Awesome update guys! love the new background feature!
Big fan of storytelling 2.0 and this is def a part of it. Good job guys.
Maker
Yeah, learning from inspiring startups like Apester 😄
Great work Ben and the rest of the team! What inspired you to create a powerful story telling tool with your platform?
Maker
thank you! we kept on getting requests from publishers to use our product more extensively, this was really built from their needs.
Good stuff man. Looks great!
#interesting and cool way to express. Even a slight paradigm shift to the we have been sharing stories. We have been adding photos, and tagging locations. This is the opposite way, grouped together and easier to navigate as well.
Another quick reaction after I was checking few from your gallery. Yes the product is mapme, and its map focused. However, in some of the cases I felt that layout needs to be opposite, or say adjustable. After all you are focusing on stories and content, rather than the map. An option to switch map on left-sidebar or content page may even give you A/B insights.
Maker
Good points. Did you try it out on mobile? Of course, most of our usage is there, the experience can't be changed so much, unless you have suggestions. Try checking this out on your phone - Or embedded in a post
This looks very similar to Eater's 38 and Heatmap lists[1]. Even the pins are nearly identical. I really like this style for map content. I'm curious if Eater was an inspiration at all for this layout.
Maker
We're definitely fans of Vox (eater) they've done an amazing job.
This is super cool! Great way to tell a story
Maker
Thanks Yair!
Mapme marketing department targeting me the right way... Congrats on the release guys, keep rocking!
Maker
Yeah! Here's how it looks embedded -
Looks cool, loved the GOT map. If you can link to a drive folder with pictures and have them mapped to this it would be a great way to share trips and memories
Maker
Thanks! Yeah, agreed, we'll do social pulling in future.
HUGE FAN OF BEN and TEAM. As they know I'm always spamming their twitter with phrase and bug resports ;P And some..... self promoting. Here's one of my maps!
Maker
You rock Johnny! Here's the Story version of your map 😊
Seems to be a great tool! Telling stories trough maps can be more effective and even more fun to read. Congrats, hope you guys can grow!
Maker
