Map embeds for Plus and Pro shop accounts
Mini DiveJourney maps that shops can embed directly on their own websites. I’ll be rolling this out with a few design partners over the next few weeks. If you’re a shop and want in early, reach out. Long term, I’d like to offer map embeds for individual divers who want their own personal dive map on their site. There’s a lot you can do with Mapbox GL, so expect some fun stuff here.
v0.1 Dive Buddy Discovery
Early experiments in mapping divers and locations so you can eventually find buddies and make new friends as you travel and dive. For now, I’m testing geolocation settings and geofencing for profiles as a base layer. The goal is to expand into live messaging, events, and dive buddy requests once the foundations feel right.
