Along
Mobile App · WIP · 2024
Along is an interactive mapping platform designed for walkable discovery. While most popular mapping interfaces optimize for beating traffic, back roads, and navigating public transportation, they have overlooked the unqiue challenges presented by walkable navigation, which has created a massive opportunity to build out a mapping platform built to serve the needs of walkers.
Walkers experience their environment in a more intimate manner in comparison to other forms of transport. We have found that walkers are more likely to consider factors like safety, scenic routes, socialness, shopping and other naunced experiences along their way (hence the name along!).
We began premliminary research for Along in June of 2024 as a part of the Kleiner Perkins Fellowship cohort and are currently in the design process.
