Product for skate / BMX / scooter / roller riders: a map of spots showing whether a spot is open, how fresh the info is, and whether it fits your level. Not "another Spotmap" — a layer of freshness and clear spot condition.
Role: Research, product analytics, and full-stack development.
Note: Research and design are done; MVP map and spot card in progress.
Cases
01
Community field research
Explored topic chats and parks in St. Petersburg. In-depth interviews with riders — pain points, how they find spots, willingness to update information.
02
Rider survey
Closed survey July 2026: 29 responses. Top pains — park closed, no one to ride with, map outdated. Spot card hypothesis confirmed with average score 4.3/5; most are willing to add and update their spots.
03
Competitors & positioning
Review of Spotmap, general maps, and local chats: where people look for spots now and what's missing. Decision not to duplicate "another map" but to solve freshness and clarity before you go.
04
Analytics & design
Business modeling (IDEF0), UML by roles, relational DB schema, spec, and interactive Figma prototype: map, spot card, communities, profile.
05
MVP direction
Spot map with freshness card, status, and photos — and ability to add and update places. Finding company for a joint visit — next stage.
