Parallel platform uses maps to share multiple stories tied to real locations
Parallel, a new open-source platform, enables users to discover and share stories connected to physical places via an interactive map. The platform allows multiple independent story chapters—including history, personal memories, and local legends—to be linked to a single location. It is designed for urban explorers seeking context about their surroundings and for writers or historians publishing sourced local stories. The application is built with a FastAPI backend and Next.js frontend, using PostgreSQL with PostGIS for geographic data. The developers emphasize that core features function without reliance on optional AI components, allowing for self-hosting by community groups.
