So why is so much of our digital life still locked into narrow, vertical pages? Stacks of text, images, and feeds we scroll through alone. Why not pan, zoom, and move across a map the way we already move through the world?

What would happen to our adventure reflexes if exploration became the default mode of our digital experience? How might our sense of belonging shift if the places and people, stories and news around us were presented as constellations on a living canvas instead of as isolated posts in a disconnected feed?

Imagine lifting your map and seeing the weather drifting in real time. Your friends scattered across the city, tiny markers bending and swaying with their own rhythms. The parcel you’ve been waiting for crossing highways and rivers on its way to your door. A festival pulsing as sound waves ripple from its stage. A food truck lighting up as it changes location, leaving a faint scent trail of today’s menu on the map.

What if we could layer on new kinds of presence? Not just where things are, but how they feel. A forest shimmering brighter on the map because the moss is wet with rain. A café glowing because it’s unusually lively this evening. A coastline darkening as the tide rolls in.

What if the map became a shared stage, where your own movements, stories, and rituals lived alongside everyone else’s? A place where culture isn’t consumed from a distance but walked into. Where discovery feels less like content and more like an encounter.

We believe the map could be more than a predictable directory. It could be the digital interface of life itself, alive, responsive, and richly human.

We haven’t built something quite as fantastic yet. But with Stigen, our map-making app, we’ve started the journey. A place where anyone can draw their world by posting spots, photos, and trails to their own maps.
