Pinnie turns your real-world journey into a live social feed. Discover events as they happen and see your the world through a new lens. In this decentralized network, you control what you see. Explore, share, and experience the world around you. KEY FEATURES • The World is Your Newsfeed Your feed is built from the places you go. As you travel, you collect posts from locations you pass. At home, see trending content and friend updates. On the move, the feed shifts to your interests and surroundings. For a pure experience, turn off the algorithm and see everything. You are the curator. • Hotspot Feeds: Your Front Row to the World Get a front-row seat to unfolding events. Hotspot Feeds are real-time channels for high-traffic locations like concerts, celebrations, and breaking news, giving you a live, on-the-ground view of what's happening. • Trending, The Pinnie Way Watch a post go viral. Content trends locally first—seen by those who pass by the location. As local engagement grows, its reach expands. Witness a story travel from a single neighborhood to a global phenomenon. • PinPals™ — Your Global Trendsetting Crew Build your inner circle of PinPals™ to share a post across all their locations simultaneously. Your pin instantly drops where each PinPal is, whether across the street or the globe. With enough PinPals, a single post can start a nationwide trend. • Pin ID™ — The Key to Secure Messaging No more random DMs. To message you, others must first request your unique Pin ID™. A private chat is only opened upon your approval, ensuring every connection is intentional and consent-based. • Dual Rating System: Heart the Creator, Rate the Content Separate the creator from the content. Give a Heart to support the person and a Star Rating to review their topic. Love your friend but disagree with their opinion? Give a Heart for support but a 1-Star rating for the topic. This fosters honest feedback. • Dynamic Business Discovery Looking for the best local spots? Our business search is as dynamic as you are. Search for a category like "restaurants," and the list will instantly populate with the closest option at the top. As you walk or drive, the list re-sorts in real time, constantly updating to show you the nearest business in that category. The perfect choice is always just a glance away. • Catch Live Deals & Hyper-Local Offers Unlock a world of real-time savings with a deals page that’s as dynamic as your day. Businesses can pin limited-time offers directly to their location, creating exciting opportunities for anyone nearby. Imagine a local coffee shop pinning a deal for a free coffee with any purchase, valid only from 8 AM to 12 PM. As you walk past their storefront during those hours, you can receive a notification for that fleeting offer. The Deals Page is your hub for these hyper-local, time-sensitive promotions, from flash sales at boutiques and more. It’s the perfect companion to our business discovery feature. • Pin Your Profile Card Pin your profile to any location to leave a virtual "business card." It's a simple way to be discovered, connect with people in a specific place, or just let them know you were there. • Sync & Explore Through a Friend’s Eyes Travel the world through a friend's eyes.
