Launched in October 2014 by a development studio, a platform was designed to help users discover and track new places in their area, both past and future openings. Users can sign up, follow cities of interest, and receive email notifications about new places and upcoming openings in those cities. The platform allows users to mark places they wish to visit or have already visited, and engage with them through comments and feedback. Businesses can create or claim listings on the platform, providing an opportunity to connect with current and potential customers.
The platform has experienced over 128k page views since its inception, with 1,438 users and 79% actively following cities and receiving notifications. A total of 1,522 cities are monitored by users, with the top five being popular metropolitan areas. The platform gained recognition on a popular tech discovery site and was highlighted on various media outlets, attracting positive feedback from the startup community.
Despite the platform's potential, its creators are seeking a new owner due to other commitments, someone passionate about community-building and new discoveries. The sale includes comprehensive assets like code, domain name, design materials, and social media accounts. The platform, built with Ruby on Rails, is hosted on a cloud service with manageable running costs. Support for transition and transfer details will be provided to the new owner, with transactions handled securely. The creators believe in the platform's potential for growth and value within the market.
