Client and Business Goals
An Thailand-based client approached us with a unique concept: a mobile-first platform where users can ask questions about any point on the map – and get answers from people who actually know the area. The goal was to build an MVP that turns a simple map into a community-powered knowledge layer, starting with one city in Southeast Asia.
The Challenges
People visiting or relocating to a new city constantly have hyper-local questions: Is this street safe at night? Where is the best street food near this corner? Is this neighborhood noisy? Traditional review platforms only cover businesses – not specific streets, intersections, or neighborhoods.
The client needed a solution that could:
- Let users pin any point on a real map and ask a question about it
- Show all community questions as markers on an interactive map
- Allow other users to discover nearby questions and answer via comments
- Notify question authors when new answers arrive
- Support image and file uploads for richer context
- Work as a mobile-first responsive web app with minimal friction to sign up
The Solution
Our team built a responsive, mobile-first web application centered around an interactive Google Map. Users can register, explore the map, tap any location to create a geo-tagged question, and browse questions posted by others. Each question opens a detail view with a comment thread where the community provides answers.
Key implementation details:
- Interactive Google Maps integration with custom markers for each question
- Automatic geoposition detection to center the map on the user’s location
- Real-time address resolution when a user places a pin
- Comment-based answer system with email notifications via AWS SES
- Image and file upload functionality powered by AWS S3
- Auto-registration flow triggered after payment
- Personal profile with question history and notification preferences
- Fully responsive Material UI interface optimized for mobile screens
