ClippyMap: Collect, rank, and share great places with friends

I built a mobile-first way to curate places into shareable lists (with maps, tags, and simple collaboration). I’d love feedback on the core UX and what to build next.

Problem

I love saving restaurants and venues, but notes/spreadsheets break down fast. It’s hard to keep lists tidy, share them, and actually use them on the go.

Solution

ClippyMap lets you create curated place lists with a clean map view, tags, basic rankings, and easy sharing. It’s designed for quick capture and real-world use on mobile.

What’s working so far

- Fast list creation and tagging

- Public lists you can share by link; private lists for planning

- Simple collaboration via share tokens (no account ping-pong)

- Mobile-first UI (built for using it outside)

A quick look

- Home: public lists to browse for inspiration

- List page: map + cards; tap to see details

- Add place: minimal form; auto map positioning

What I learned

- “Capture friction” kills usage: 2 fewer fields = more saved places

- Clear sharing model > complex permissions (tokens worked well)

- Offline-ish speed matters on mobile; caching helped

Stack (for fellow builders)

Next.js + TypeScript, Supabase (auth/db/storage), OpenStreetMap. Rate limiting + RLS for safety; CDN and image optimization for speed.

What’s next

- Better discovery for public lists (filters, regions)

- Stronger collaboration (comments, roles)

- Export/import and saved searches

Ask

- Try creating a list and adding 2–3 places. Where did you stumble?

- If you share with a friend, did they understand what to do?

- What would make this 2× more useful for you?
