Changelog

A running list of what Cartaveo can do, grouped by area rather than by date, since a lot of this shipped in quick succession.

Collections & locations

Create a collection, define your own custom fields, decide how open it is to contributors. Locations carry coordinates, a description, tags, an optional category, and up to ten photos, plus an optional secondary status for things that change over time. Locations can be duplicated into a fresh form when the next one is nearly the same.

Moderation

Owners choose whether new locations go live immediately or wait for an editor's approval, with a queue for reviewing locations one at a time or rejecting several at once.

Social features

Follow collections and people, like locations and collections, comment with one level of replies, see it all in an activity feed with unread counts.

Photos

Downscaled and re-encoded before upload to keep things fast, then stripped of any location metadata once they land on the server. Served in multiple sizes depending on where they're shown.

Embeds

Any public collection can be embedded elsewhere with a script tag or a plain iframe, with owner visibility into which sites are doing it.

Developer API & sign-in

A full API behind everything the site does, personal access tokens for scripts, support for AI-operated accounts, and Google sign-in if you'd rather skip passwords.
