About CoolSpot

A community map of the places worth going — built by the people who find them.

What it is

CoolSpot is a community map of interesting places. Anyone can drop a pin, describe a place, add photos or a video and tag it with a category. Everyone else can browse the map, filter, search, read starred reviews and find their next good spot.

It's built by friends, for friends — a small, self-hosted project with no ads and no tracking. Signing in is optional: it's only needed to add spots, write reviews, follow people and save places.

What you can do

  • Add a spot — drop a pin, describe the place, add photos or a video and tag up to three categories.
  • Discover — browse the map, filter by category or search by name, address, city, category and who added it.
  • Rate and review — give a spot stars, write a review with photos or video, and mark when you visited.
  • Follow and save — follow contributors, save spots for later and track where you've been.

How the community works

Spots are owned by the community, not by any single person. The person who adds a spot can edit it, and everyone else can add reviews, photos and ratings that make it more useful. The leaderboard celebrates the people who contribute the most.

Who runs it

CoolSpot is a small independent project. There are no advertisers, no analytics trackers and no paywalls — just a map that gets better the more people share the places they love.
