THE FLYER NETWORK

HOW FLYERS WORK

Someone asked you to photograph a poster taped to a real street and put it on a public map. Fair to want to know exactly what that means before you tap upload.

THE LOOP

  1. 1
    Print a flyer
    Your own QR gets baked into the poster art. No sign-in needed to make one.
  2. 2
    Put it up
    Tape it somewhere public — a pole, a wall, a board.
  3. 3
    Photograph it and log it
    One photo, one pin on a map. That's the whole submission.
  4. 4
    People scan the QR
    Each scan is counted — a refresh or a second look within 30 minutes only counts once.
  5. 5
    You see the scan count
    On your own flyers page. That number is the entire point of tracking it.

WHAT THE MAP ACTUALLY SEES

Your phone knows exactly where you’re standing. The public map never gets that — only which roughly-250m block, and territory standings only which ~25km area.

Sizes are illustrative, not drawn to a shared scale — a real ~25km district is far more than 100× wider than a ~250m cell.

  • Your IP addressScans are deduped with a one-way hash of it; the address itself is never kept.
  • A walletThis app never connects to one, for this or anything else.

HOW IT’S MODERATED

Your flyer goes on the map as soon as you log it — nothing sits in a queue waiting on us. Moderation happens after the fact: any signed-in person can report a drop, and if two different people report the same one it’s hidden automatically. An admin can also pull a drop down at any time.
