I built TinkerMap around a simple idea: what if there was a map of people nearby who enjoy building things?
I wanted a simple way to discover developers, makers, students, and tech enthusiasts around me — not based on followers or popularity, but on what they're interested in and what they're currently building.
So I started building TinkerMap. It's still an independent project, and I'm gradually figuring out what it can become.
Interest over popularity
You find people by what they're building, not follower counts.
Skill-based discovery
Search by what someone knows — ML, hardware, game dev — and find them nearby.
Independent and small
No ads, no feeds to game. Just a map and the people on it.
