And I’ve seen social media evolve over that period. I’ve seen how likes, views and other methods of gamification created people into more entertainers projecting a character over sharing real value. I feel like this app provides a local perspective that will allow me to connect and share value that actually means something to those who are local. Look forward to seeing the community grow. ## Frequently asked questions about Cobbles ### What is Cobbles?
