Feed, Lifelog & Deck

Feed

The Feed is the dynamic heart of the Proto app, showcasing all updates from users across the community. By default, every user has a public profile, enabling interaction with others' check-ins, engagements, and various updates. The Feed is designed to foster a social experience, encouraging users to stay connected and engaged with the Proto community.

What is the Feed?

The Feed is where you can see all the latest activity from other users in real-time. It includes new check-ins, contributions, tips, and more. Each update in the Feed is an opportunity to discover new places, gain insights, and interact with fellow mappers.

Why is it Important?

Staying active on the Feed is crucial for several reasons:

Community Engagement: By keeping up with the Feed, you become an active participant in the Proto community, building connections and learning from others.
Learning Opportunities: Observing how others map and contribute can provide valuable insights and inspire you to improve your own mapping skills.
Social Experience: Mapping is a social activity. Engaging with others through likes, reactions and tips enriches your experience and fosters a sense of camaraderie.

Mapping is a Social Experience and Activity

Mapping isn’t just about plotting points on a map; it’s about sharing experiences and stories. Each check-in is a glimpse into someone’s world, and by interacting with these contributions, you help create a vibrant and supportive community.

Deck

The Deck is a vital component of Proto, where users verify check-ins made by others. This section ensures the accuracy and reliability of the map by crowd-sourcing verification tasks.

What is the Deck?
