What's Trending Bangalore
A living map of what's actually trending in Bengaluru — upvoted by the people who went
Who
People in Bengaluru deciding where to go this weekend — locals bored of the same spots and newcomers with no local network to ask.
Why
Discovery in a big city is broken. What's worth going to right now is scattered across Instagram stories that vanish in 24 hours, Reddit threads, and group-chat word of mouth — none of it on a map, none of it with memory. You either default to the same three places or gamble on a spot that peaked six months ago. The job to be done: see what's genuinely trending near me, right now, and trust that the signal is fresh.
What
A map-first community platform where trending spots visually pulse and grow with real activity. People upvote places, drop tips, and add new spots — think Instagram discovery on a map, but with memory.
- —Map-first interface where popular spots pulse and grow based on live community activity
- —Upvote and comment on spots; anyone can submit a new place, gated by review moderation
- —A recency-weighted trending score — spots earn 'Trending' and 'Hot' status, then fade as they cool
- —Filter discovery by intent: food, drinks, nightlife, outdoors, art & culture, experiences, and this-weekend events
- —Automated ingestion from Reddit and event feeds to seed the map beyond manual submissions
