Ideas

• Joshua Ferris
  • You could also add the option to "randomize their location" it slightly skews it - enough to be non specific

---

• Jesus Bibieca
  • allow the user to select how much you should randomize the location

---

• Joshua Ferris
  • Within x distance to view the image

---

• John Smith
  • Remove exif data for privacy reasons

---

• Omar ElKhatib
  • use an ready AI to detect if the photo posted it does not contain any nudes or violence

---

• "Trusted Users"
• Joshua Ferris
  • I mean when they login and you get their profile data - only accept users that have filled fields on their account provider

---

• Infi
  • Image shall be able to be captioned with markdown, with a high character limit (1024)

---

• Bojan Dedić
  • Adding a karma to pics, so the image stays longer on the map if the karma is high, like on reddit.

• Aman Singh
  • lets just write a decay rate algorithm per post based on views, likes and comments
