The "map with traffic posts" app for skateboarders. Sk8pots is a map-based app that allows you to post and share your favorite skateboarding (sk8) spots with your friends or skateboarders nearby in real-time. Imagine you are skating around your area and find these gorgeous set of stairs, or are just visiting someplace and you start having those creative trances visualizing some sick line on the spot... well now with Sk8pots you can mark that "sk8pot" on the map to let the world know too! Or just simply grab your skateboard, fire up the app and start tagging spots around, my friend. Why the name tho? Because the idea is that you are “planting” spots... TONS of new features are currently being developed (by only one person for the moment). Some current features: * real-time spot tagging * police presence level * rating system to like/unlike spots you find * spot types currently supported: stairs, air gaps, rails, benches, plazas, skate-parks * spot search feature * user creation profiles (with email, Google or Facebook accounts) * "go-to" spot functionality for getting spot directions using your favorite GPS app * Sk8pots profile & upload photo functionality for owned verified spots. * + more...
