The problem
Recommendations shared in social posts are hard to revisit and organize into a trip. Creators need a way to turn those recommendations into guides that are easy to share and practical to maintain.

Pinned.
Turn a creator’s recommendations into a useful travel guide.
Pinned helps travel creators publish, share, and monetize curated lists and maps. Travelers can explore a creator’s recommendations on their phone, open free guides, and purchase paid guides without installing an app or creating an account.
One link. Your whole place list.
Paste a saved Maps list to bring its places into Pinned.
This demo loads the same four fictional places for any valid web URL.
This three-step demo uses fictional places and a schematic map. URL imports and the creator guide page are simulated; no live import or checkout occurs.
Inside the work.
The decision
Build around creator profiles and individual guides, with place lists, map views, and clear free or paid access. The repository includes creator publishing tools, analytics, Stripe checkout, purchase-based unlocking, and emailed access links so buyers can reopen their guides.
The tradeoff
Pinned focuses on creator-curated recommendations. The experience centers on the creator’s judgment, a useful guide preview, and a short path from a social link to the places a traveler wants to visit.
The evidence
The source separates visible places from locked guide content, checks purchase access before revealing paid places, and provides creator views for guides, sales, and captured emails. Guide pages and checkout are separate parts of the same buyer journey.
The handoff
Creators manage their profile and guides from a dedicated workspace. Travelers use shareable guide links, and buyers can return through emailed access without managing a new account.
