Nice app, I'll mostly use it to discover but could see myself snapping a pic and sharing if I come across something here in Chicago. Similar hunts: Blank Walls Are Criminal: http://www.producthunt.com/posts... Google Street Art Project: http://www.producthunt.com/posts...

SF has a ton of great graffiti. Downloading this now. This might encourage me to explore more of the city, capturing and sharing some of its best pieces.

Hey! Graffmap founder here! Graffmap is a free app for iOS (Android coming out very very soon) to discover and share street art - online and in person. Finding street art often comes down to luck; Graffmap solves that problem by showing you where to find the best crowd-sourced walls around the world. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Also, we have some stickers lying around. Shoot us a message on the Facebook page if you'd like some!

@rhymeswithsimon Hey Simon! I love the concept of this app. I've always loved street art, but often you miss out on a lot of pieces because of how quickly they're covered up or hijacked. I dealt with this back in 2010 when Banksy came to San Francisco. I was still able to see all of his pieces a week after they went up - but at that point a few had been defaced. With how ephemeral street art can be, do you plan on introducing an archive feature? This would be awesome in areas with higher street art concentration (for me, locally, there are few hubs - Oakland + Berkeley, San Francisco, San Jose). I'd love to be able to upload and geotag the locations for long-gone pieces. I hope Graffmap takes off! I don't see any pieces tagged in my city, but I'll contribute soon :)

@stttories Thanks Tori! We totally agree that it's important to have an archive! I want to stand in front of a big wall and and go through its history with Graffmap. Wouldn't that be cool? My head is buzzing with possibilities! You can upload pictures pictures of wall that have been removed, just make sure to specify it's removed in the description. Can't wait to see what you'll share with us and thanks for the encouragement!
