MY NODE MAP
Collect your life on a 3D map. Vote for countries with Tomat
For more than 10 years, I carried an idea I could not build: a map where you collect your life — countries, cities, memories, routes, and people — as one living personal history instead of scattered photos, bookmarks, and posts.
I’m an architect by background, not a developer. Before this project, I had never written code. I had no funding, no co-founder, and no technical team.
In late 2025, I finally began building it myself, using AI to help me turn the product vision into working code. I designed MY NODE MAP the way I approach architecture: through space, movement, hierarchy, emotion, and the experience of exploring something over time.
The core of the product is a 3D world map where users can save countries, cities, and personal “Nodes” — places connected to memories, people, or moments.
What is live now:
- An interactive 3D world map with custom layers, places, countries, cities, and personal Nodes
- Travel routes that connect visited places chronologically
- Trip planning tools: folders, notes, checklists, tasks, sharing, and export
- Friends, activity feed, groups, direct messages, and a travel forum
- Expense splitting for shared trips, including multiple currencies and automatic settlements
- Achievements and a leaderboard based on unique countries and cities
- NoDUS, an AI companion that uses saved places to suggest rough travel ideas
- Tomato Battle: a separate live globe where people react to countries with hearts or tomatoes and see global sentiment change in real time
Honest status: the core map and most features are live. Some experiments, including AI trip tickets, automatic chat translation, and matching logic, are still in beta.
I have no marketing budget and no audience in this space, so I’m looking for direct, critical feedback.
If you use travel, mapping, or social products, I’d love to know:
- What would make you try this instead of Google Maps, Notion, or an existing travel app?
- Which part sounds genuinely useful, and which part sounds unnecessary?
- What would make you return after the first visit?

It currently works best on desktop. The mobile web version is in progress.

You’ve built several different reasons someone could use this, which makes the “why come back?” question especially interesting.
Curious what early users seem to gravitate toward most naturally.
I created MY NODE MAP because I wanted a single place for my trips, memories, routes, and people — connected on a 3D map instead of scattered across apps.
I’m not a developer who was given a task. I designed and built every part myself, from the globe and layers to the data model, social features, Tomato Battle, and AI companion. I keep working on it, improving details and fixing what doesn’t feel right.
If you’re into travel, maps, or organizing your life geographically, I hope you’ll give it a try and share honest feedback.
