Named Atlas - Keep a named place on a shared night map
by•
Named Atlas is a public night map you share with everyone else. Keep a spot — planet up to galaxy — put your name on it, leave a short note, and link back to your site.
Visitors travel down to find you and sign the guestbook. A place to visit, not another profile row.
Your outbound visitors are full decorated with UTM parameters, allowing you to close the loop in your analytics.
Guest checkout available; no account maze before you decide.

Hey Product Hunt —
I’m Matthew. I built Named Atlas.
Most side projects and studios only get a URL and a profile row. I wanted something that feels kept. A public night map where you claim a lasting place, put your name on it, leave a short note, and point a beacon back to your real site. Neighbours exist. Guests can travel down through the sky, open your place, and sign the guestbook.
What’s on the map if you poke around:
The shared sky itself — galaxies down to planets, with a guided tour if you just want to walk to somewhere that’s already claimed
Public estate pages you can deep-link (/s/…) — artwork, a guestbook, a beacon out to your site
A directory of open places, with planets from $7, plus search, compare, and watchlists if you’re browsing before you buy
Guest checkout on claim, so you’re not forced through an account wall before you’ve decided
Rankings, a personal atlas, and a little card binder for places you’ve touched
I also hid some quieter stuff in there on purpose. The map keeps “marks” as you travel — small notes for exploring, claiming, watching. There’s one about a little ship crossing a layer. The awake count in the corner is real. Empty guestbooks and quiet layers are meant to feel like a chart house, not a broken empty state. Building that tone was half the fun: copper-and-ink microcopy, instruments instead of growth popups, a place that notices you without shouting.
What’s changed since this Product Hunt page first went up: we spent a couple of weeks running cold first-timer walks (mobile social, curious browser, indie maker) and tightening the map → claim journey. It’s clearer now. Still early — the sky is young — and I’m honest about that. What I care about on launch day is whether the first few minutes click.
If you’ve got a couple of minutes:
Open https://namedatlas.com and keep clicking down until you hit planets
Open a claimed place and peek at the guestbook
Claim something small if you feel like it, or just tell me in the comments: did it click, or was it just empty sky?
Ups, downs, and “I got lost here” notes all help. Thanks for checking us out on Vercel Day.
