Putting Kickstarter Projects on the Map
There’s a new site that launched today with the mission of providing an easy to use interface that will allow users to view current Kickstarter projects based on location.
The site is ThingsWeStart. It’s a very interesting idea, and we have yet to see anything like this until now.
Anyone who’s tried to search for crowdfunding projects knows that it can sometimes be a tedious task if you want to add any sort of filter to the search. Things We Start makes this process a breeze by displaying a realtime map that pinpoints the locations of any projects within your search parameters.
Looking for all design projects in Seattle? No problem. Just select the category of project and zoom into the map to see what projects are getting funded right now in that area.
In addition to searching by location and category, users can also view projects based on funding amount. If you want to see projects that are close to being fully funded, simply select the “Almost There” option, and you’ll be given a list of projects that just need a final push to become successful.
ThingsWeStart is a fun, interactive alternative to the search function on Kickstarter, and we definitely recommend giving it a try.
