Slaps - Video-based local discovery platform for the best places

by•
Slaps a video-based local discovery platform designed for Gen Z. Rather than relying on biased 1-5 star reviews, Slaps shows the best videos in a city across various categories (hidden gems, cool vibes, etc) to better help you discover the best places to go 🎉 Currently live in Miami, Florida! 🏝

Hey there! I'm a cofounder of Slaps 👋 1-5 star reviews are outdated: 4.3 stars is the average ranking, 68% of reviews are between 4 and 5 stars, and 40% of reviews are fake or paid for. We were disappointed with these solutions and faced frustrations when trying to find new places to go in a city or find happenings & things going on 🤷 So, we created Slaps: a video based local discovery mobile app for Gen Z. It’s kind of like a hybrid between Yelp/Tripadvisor and Tik Tok, with a video first interface but focused on unique categories like hip vibes, cool atmosphere, hidden gems, etc. Soon, we’ll be launching a feature that shows live videos and recent stories of happenings, events, deals & parties going on nearby in a city. If you’d like to try it out, we’re live on Testflight, with content focused on Miami Florida, and we’d love to hear your feedback. We’re confident we can disrupt an industry that hasn’t changed much, build something that is tailored to Gen Z, and leverage technology to help spur people out into the real world rather than deeper into their phone- and we’d love your feedback & insight to help make that happen! 😺 All the best, The Slaps Team

This is awesome, I’ll be waiting when you finally come to brisbane Australia. I’m not holding my breath though I sure it won’t be for a while

@stewup Thanks Stewart! Yeah it might be a while on that front- we're planning on a city by city launch. If you do want to try it out before then (if you have an iPhone), you can play around with it at: https://www.slaps.wtf/product-hunt. Thanks for the support either way!

Laura, this is awesome! When I look for reviews what I'm really looking for are pictures and those are usually few and far between. Video is genius - well done!
