Description
How can we create a platform that fosters real-time, location-based storytelling and community engagement? Our solution, kNow, is a location-based social media app that opens to an interactive map displaying stories posted nearby in real time. Each story appears as a map marker tied to its upload location and automatically disappears after 24 hours, keeping content fresh and relevant.
Users can explore their surroundings, upload their own stories, and view curated custom maps—such as “food” or “travel”—on user profiles. This transforms local discovery into a personal and engaging experience.
Unlike platforms focused solely on global connectivity, kNow brings social media back to the local level, helping users stay connected with what’s happening around them in the moment.
