We're launching an exciting project that helps navigate mega cities like a local. From cultural barriers to access challenges, we ask: what makes you feel at home in a mega city? 🚶‍♂️🚇🌆 Share your insights to help us create better living experiences!

Seems like a really cool idea, where do you get the data from? I think it'll be cool to show a little demo or insights of what you get to see, users (and I) don't want to put their email before knowing what they will get after, so maybe that would be helpful to see or access a demo page of a city first?

@annedevj thank you so much for the feedback. It means so much for me.. By filling the email user receives a google form in the email. The whole idea is to interact with user and expand the building per user request. User feedback dictates the direction. Depending on users feedback openpathmap.com can turn into: 1/ a local guides network where users travel to mega city and discover sub cultures with the help of local guide. 2/ an interactive map with all the expat-friendly and foreign student-friendly venues, options places. 3/ a directory for all matters related with safety(emergency numbers, dangerous neighborhoods to avoid etc) and also providing insights to user with 'playful' indices. 4/ a hidden gems-restaurants with secret menus-lesser known venues and events-feedback based website that crowdsources and updates on the district level new locations and go-to places. All ideas are revolving around the live like local experience making foreign students and expats embrace their city like their new home. I posted it here to make it public and start receiving feedback. What do you think?

@vangelis2 oh woah so lots of ideas and possibilities 🙌 it all sounds good but it might be tough to market and find users to start with if they don't know yet what they will get though (and you either cause it can become many things) But maybe explaining on your landing how it works would be helpful: sign in with your email, fill in a form with this type of questions and get insights on your travel, wdyt?

@annedevj I am preparing v0.2 as we speak. You are the best! Thinking using loom for video, are you recommending any nicer options?
