Introduction
Hello everyone, it´s @martibis again. As mentioned before, this is the end of the road for @pinmapple. But I do have some good news. After the outpour of love and support @detlev will continue the project under a new brand Worldmappin, using the open source code.
More details
First of all, it's worth noting that the @pinmapple account and brand are still closing down, but Worldmappin will take over the torch.
- All of your work and your pins will be transferred over to Worldmappin
- The map will be available soon at worldmappin.com
- @detlev (one of the first users of the map) will run Worldmappin
Continuing the legacy
One of our first users of the map @detlev approached us and offered to take over the project with a new brand name, to keep the great work of the @pinmapple team and the community alive.
For those who don't know @detlev, he has been a member of Hive (former Steem) since April 2017. The well-known beer guy with the longest-running challenge and a traveler as well. He posted to @pinmapple even before the service was live. Detlev has been running software projects for a long time. He will work together with @lizanomadsoul one of the @pinmapple curators I'm sure you're all familiar with, to continue the mission under the Worldmappin brand. You can already follow the account at @worldmappin. @ybanezkim26 will also join the curation efforts at @worldmappin.
Worth noting that this team, also has the support from @blocktrades and @theycallmedan will stay.
What are the next steps
- @pinmapple will be inactive in curating, voting, etc.
- The pinning service and https://pinmapple.com will keep running until the @worldmappin team are up and running.
- The community on Hive and Discord stay the same, but will be renamed to Worldmappin (when the time arises) @detlev and @lizanomadsoul will be the admins.
- A new DHF proposal will be created in June in order to maintain and develop the Worldmappin project.
- You will find any other news at @worldmappin (so make sure to follow there)
Signing off
Again, I want to thank everyone who has ever pinned to @pinmapple, any person who has been on the curation team and anyone that supported the project either by delegating, having chats on the progress, helping out with the development, following the trail, trusting us with your HP and voting for us. This project would not have been possible without all of you and it has been a pleasure being here alongside all of you.
