String Atelier vs MapChat Social

Turn any photo into a beautiful piece of string art — then let the app guide you through every single step of making it. String Atelier is the companion app to the String Atelier physical kit. Whether you're a first-time crafter or a seasoned maker, the app handles the complexity so you can focus on the joy of creating. STYLES & CUSTOMISATION Choose from pre-built styles or build your own. Dial in blackness, sharpness, clarity, contrast, and line density. Use the thread slider to reduce lines and shorten assembly time. See a real-time preview of your finished piece with every adjustment. Save your creations as presets to reuse any time. LIVE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS Follow a visual preview that updates after every line, showing your portrait taking shape in real time.

Your city is full of people you'd love. You just haven't met them yet. MapChat is the one source for nightlife — a map of every bar, venue, and event worth your time, plus the people who are actually there. Find somewhere to go. Find someone to go with. Show up and connect in real life. DISCOVER WHERE TO GO Browse a hand-curated catalog of bars, lounges, restaurants, and venues across your city. Filter by happy hour, live music, dog-friendly patios, dive energy, dance floors — whatever you're in the mood for. No fake reviews. No pay-to-play rankings. Just the real picture of what's actually happening tonight. FIND YOUR PEOPLE See who's already at the bar. Wave at someone who looks interesting. Send a chat. Make plans for later this week. MapChat is built for the moment between "I want to go out" and "I'm having a great time" — the part the internet has spent twenty years making harder, not easier. PACK THE BAR Join coordinated meetups where everyone shows up at the same place at the same time. Bar crawls. Themed nights. Spontaneous gatherings. The original promise of social — that it would help you actually be social — but in a place with a jukebox. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO MOVED HERE If you're new to LA or Boston, MapChat is your shortcut to a city that already feels like yours. The local who knows every spot. The friend who'll meet you for a drink on a Tuesday. The community you came here looking for. WHY WE BUILT THIS The loneliness epidemic is real, and the apps you already have on your phone helped cause it. We're building the opposite of a feed — a tool that gets you off your screen and into a room with other humans. Third places. Real conversation. Eye contact. Come out and play. Available in Los Angeles,Boston, Manhattan/Brooklyn, Manadnock. NH, Savannah/HHI, Sarasota, and Washington D.C (DMV) areas. More cities coming soon. mapchat.social
