Founded by David Stemler and Ryan Hansan, the app has indexed 1.3 million points of interest across 177 countries. Beyond travel, it targets everyday curiosity — commutes, local exploration, and family memory preservation. Revenue comes from the supply side: museums, tourism boards, hotels, and brands pay to create location-based experiences without building their own apps. Users can ask follow-up questions, follow creators, and attach personal memories to specific places. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
