Post seamlessly with no friction. We've got a demo and some more 'Under the hood' and 'next steps' for Crowdmap. Here's a recording of our Crowdmap Public Beta Demo and Chat.
Brian Herbert and Evan Sims join us to give a demo, talk about Crowdmap and answer your questions.
(Note: There was only a small sound blip for about 30 seconds near the beginning. Then, the sound is great. Hang in until 2 minute mark for the full demo. We promise to share a easter egg too. )
Evan Sim's blog post on why new Crowdmap on Medium: "One year later...throwing caution to the wind and building a dream."
Some of the questions we answered:
- How does this ties in with the ushahidi platform?
- Is the new crowdmap completely independent from Ushahidi's code?
- Is it open source as Ushahidi? Or will it be?
- Is there a way to filter content on maps through categories or tags like we could on Ushahidi?
- I work with social projects in Rio's favelas (poor communities). Are you guys planning an easier version for children / not heavy users?
- I have a map in Google maps and wanted to know if you all had any thoughts on how to download and then upload the data to Crowdmap.
