⚑ About VibeNow

VibeNow is a real-time local map that lets people share what is happening around them right now β€” crowds, events, incidents, free stuff, music, anything worth knowing. No accounts, no filters, just raw live signal from people nearby.

🎯 What problem it solves

You arrive somewhere new and have no idea what is going on around you. Is the park empty? Is there a concert two blocks away? Did something just happen on that street? VibeNow answers that in seconds β€” because people nearby are already reporting it live.

🧭 What you see on the map

Each pin is a short-lived report from someone nearby. Pins are color-coded by type and expire automatically after 2 hours so the map always reflects what is happening right now, not yesterday. You also see System signals β€” live traffic and event data from external sources, styled separately so you can tell them apart.
