Share your socials in a place. You meet someone at a coffee shop, a show, a class. Then comes the part where you spell your handle out over the noise and hope they typed it right. PlaceSpace skips that. Walk into a place, tap Enter, and your photo and handles join the room. Everyone actually there can see them. One tap and they've followed you. How it works • Pick your space — the venue you just walked into, or the neighborhood or city you're in. • Add a photo and your handles — Instagram, TikTok, X, Snapchat, LinkedIn, YouTube. Add the ones you actually check. • Enter — you have to really be there. Your photo and handles join the room. • Tap anyone's handle — it opens their profile. Follow them there. Nobody spells anything out loud. Why it works • Really there. You have to be in a place to show up in it. No check-ins from last week, no profiles from three towns over. • Right now. The room is whoever is in it at this moment. • A real face. Every profile has a photo — no blank avatars, no empty accounts. • Your call. Show the handles you want. Walk out and you drop off the list. The follows you picked up are already yours. Add your handles once. They travel with you to every place you enter.
