Hi everyone, I've been building Picturing Places, a webapp that lets you turn a place that matters to you into personalized map artwork. I've spent decades working with software, and I still enjoy making complicated things feel simple. But I've also become more drawn to physical things—paper, wood, objects with texture and weight. I wanted to build something that could become part of a room. Maps bring those interests together. A familiar street or the curve of a bay can hold a personal meaning, and a print gives that place a physical presence. I'm looking for people to try it and give honest feedback on: How easy it is to create and customize your map Anything confusing, broken, missing or unnecessary For those ordering a physical print, whether the result matches what you expected You can download your creation as free wallpapers for your phone, tablet and computer, so there's no need to buy anything to participate. If you'd like to test the full physical-print experience, from customization through ordering and delivery, I'm offering 75% off one physical print in exchange for honest feedback. You'll pay the remaining 25% plus shipping. Physical ordering for this beta is available in Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden. Try it here: picturing-places.com/create Feel free to leave feedback or questions in the comments. DM me if you'd like the physical-print discount. Thanks!   submitted by   /u/the_dark_eel [link]   [comments]
