We started this with the idea — What if you could put everyone in a Zoom on one map? The internet has made us all closer. I work with someone every day who is across the country. Every night I chat with some of our users in India. But it's easy to forget the global nature and it's hard to understand how your community is spread across the world. So we built Luma Maps to help you understand your community. If you want to check out a test map, just click here: https://maps.lu.ma/random

Such a cool idea! I'm a little disappointed you went with the Mercator projection instead of Gall-Peters, but I'll live.

Mapping seems largely untapped into in global communities. Obviously, people feel more disconnected lately—however the internet has connected the world more than it has disconnected it, and I think things like luma maps will really help add community to the age of remote-first working. I’m also excited at the intrigue of fundamentally breaking up the chats of the world that are all linear or linear + reply/thread support.

This is super cool! Excited to try this with friends and coworkers :)

Hi PH community! COVID made us forget how connected our world is, more so than ever before. We may be staying at home for most of the time, but chances are we are also in some truly global communities, like the one of ProductHunt. We built Luma Maps for you to visualize that, explore, connect and have fun. Check out https://maps.lu.ma/random and leave a message!

I'm getting a JS error "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 't.name')" when I click "Join the map" on an arbitrary URL like `https://maps.lu.ma/madethisup`

This is awesome! As much as I enjoy the exchange at the start of my Zoom calls where each person says where they are, it'll be so much more fun to see it on a map!!

We used this for a session at On Deck and excited to use it more!!! Such a fun way to break the ice in this digital age. The team is also incredible to work with.

As a founder running a remote team scattered across the globe due to COVID, this seems like a great tool to keep building a community together. Awesome work!

Hey Victor, I'm Phuong from Pure Moderation - a BPO expert from Vietnam that is helping companies with Image & Content Management. I wanted to reach out to you to see if our processes align. Do you have any vendor partnerships in place already? I can see that Luma is a very potential app that allowed people to share locations and connect people in their network. We have helped a very similar client with you in content moderation and customer service. If you are interested, I'd love to arrange a short call between you and my colleague via Google Meet to discuss more. May I have your email address and your timezone? We are in Southeast Asia so we will try to set a time that works for everyone. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I feel like with all of the deep rooted multifunctional products out there this one lacks vision and depth....i feel that it is just a one dimensional development and it seems like a work in progress.
