MarkerMap.App

🌐 The decentralized world map to help shape

Find. Connect. Create.
Markermap.app will be an open, decentralized map platform where people, projects, and places are visible as markers on an interactive world map. Instead of scrolling through lists, you can visually discover networks—markers on maps created, shared, and combined by the community. This creates a global, independent network that is shaped and controlled by everyone.

📲 Join in

Until the app is ready, create your first MarkerMap now, share your knowledge, and become part of a global map network. Start in Web2 and pave the way for the new Web3 internet.

🚀 What makes Markermap unique

🗺️ Cards reimagined
Create and discover themed cards—from bike shops to community gardens to social initiatives. Each card tells its own story.

📍 Marker mit Bedeutung
Füge Marker mit Infos, Links und Medien hinzu. Teile dein Wissen über Menschen, Projekte, Orte etc. – sichtbar für alle oder nur für dein Netzwerk.

🔗 Decentralized & resilient
Markermap will use a distributed data structure (D-App). Your data is not stored on a central server, but is mirrored on many clients – for transparency, reliability, and digital sovereignty.

🤝 Open & combinable
Markers and maps are modular in design and can be combined as desired. This creates a lively, overlapping network of topics and people.

🌍 Our vision

Goal & Vision

Markermap.app pursues the vision of an open, collaboratively maintained world map that connects people, projects, and places—without central control or data monopolies.
It aims to be a tool for digital sovereignty, transparency, and cooperation—a map network by everyone, for everyone.

A world map that doesn’t belong to companies – but to the community.
A tool that promotes collaboration instead of collecting data.
A place where people can visualize knowledge and network – freely, transparently, and decentralized.

Technical perspective (brief overview)

• Architecture: Decentralized / Federated (D-App principle)
• Data storage: distributed data nodes, IPFS / P2P / optional blockchain
• Front end: Android & iOS app, web client
• Map base: OpenStreetMap, Leaflet, or Mapbox
• Synchronisierung: Lokales Caching + Peer-to-Peer-Datenaustausch

Core idea

Markermap is becoming a kind of “decentralized yellow pages on the map” – a global, collaborative directory that is not controlled by a central authority.
Users enter locations, initiatives, or networks themselves and can curate their own theme maps. This creates lively, dynamic knowledge maps that can be shared and expanded worldwide.

Main functions

1. Create & share markers
   Every user can create their own markers with information, media, and links—e.g., about themselves, their company, organizations, places, etc. These markers appear on the corresponding personal map, a shared world map, and on other individual theme maps of your choice.
   
2. Create your own maps
   Users can create their own maps on specific topics, such as “Bicycle shops worldwide,” “Permaculture communities,” or “Social projects in Europe.”
   Markers and maps are modular: they can exist independently of each other, be combined, or be displayed together.
   
3. Decentralized data structure (D-App)
   Markermap.app relies on a decentralized data model:
   • Information is not stored centrally on a single server.
   • Multiple clients (e.g., app instances, community nodes, or mirror nodes) can read and replicate data.
   • This keeps the platform functional even if individual servers or data sources fail.
   • Optionally, a blockchain- or IPFS-based architecture (D-App) can be used to store entries transparently and immutably.
     
4. Offene Schnittstellen & Föderation
   Markermap unterstützt offene APIs und fördert föderierte Strukturen, sodass verschiedene Communities ihre eigenen Instanzen betreiben und trotzdem Daten austauschen können. Selbst Dein eigener Computer oder Dein Mobiltelefon kann alle Netzwerkdaten speichern und sogar von Endgerät zu Endgerät zum Verteiler werden. So stehen jedem alle Infos auch ohne Internet zur Verfügung.
   
5. Networking & discovery
   Search and filter functions allow users to browse by topic or geography, combine maps, and discover new networks.
