Map the places that moved you, not just your photos

WHIB turns the places that moved you into geolocated "engrams" : memory capsules capturing the 5 senses of a moment, pinned exactly where it happened. Captured in ~20 seconds, on location. Private by default. A travel map for how a place felt, not just how it looked.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
What inspired it: Almost one year ago, I was in Mauritius for an international internship.
I looked back at thousands of travel photos I took in less than a month, and realized I could barely remember how any of those places actually felt. The smell of a morning market, the cold on a mountain path, who I was with. The camera had quietly become my memory, and it was a terrible one.
The problem: Photos capture what a place looked like, never what it felt like, and a camera roll is a jumbled pile you never reopen. The sensory part, the bit your brain actually keeps, has nowhere to live.
How it evolved: It started as a simple map of countries visited, but then it evolved in pins. But after a while, I realized the map had nothing special. The magic was about capturing a moment through the 5 senses in ~20 seconds, right where I was standing, before it faded. The whole app reoriented around that fast, on-location capture. Private by default, because these are memories, not content.
Would genuinely love your feedback on the capture flow, it's the heart of it =)
