Hey everyone,

I’m based in Seattle and I recently shipped an app on the App Store that came out of a pretty annoying personal habit:

I keep seeing great Seattle food spots, cafes, and random hidden gems on TikTok / Instagram Reels (like those “best ramen in Capitol Hill” or “new dessert place in Fremont” type videos)… but I realized I never actually have a good system for saving them.

It usually turns into screenshots, saved posts, or just… disappearing into the void.

So I built something to fix that:

• Takes a TikTok / Instagram link
• Extracts the locations mentioned in the video
• Lets you save them into a shared map or list for planning with friends

What I’m really curious about (especially in Seattle):

• Do people already have a system for saving places they discover on social media?
• Or is it still mostly screenshots / notes / saving posts?
• Would something like this actually fit into how you plan food/trips, or is it unnecessary?

Would appreciate honest thoughts, especially from people who like to explore food spots around Seattle.
