Lokjo - a European online map

  1. Lokjo is a map in a website. There is no app needed.

    Which means you can use it on every device and every operating system. No installs, no updates, no data capture, no nothing.

    Just open a browser and there you have it.

    p.s. For quick access just set your language, navigate to your city and then add a link to your desktop.

  2. An interesting comment from a local shop owner in Berlin which I had a chat with.

    "During corona it showed people do have interest in supporting local shops. The conclusion -after calculating- is that if every person uses only 3 local shops to buy their things at, then local shops can survive.'

    This is just great, and another reason why the idea behind Lokjo is 'on the point'.

  3. Today is #diday ! Which means switch your corporate services to a non-corporate service. Awesome.

    For the european newcomers, if you want to know which country you financially support when using online services, we have a nifty little list/test here, quick and easy

    Give it a share if you like, it's all about awareness! 😊

  4. Do you think birds know they can fly or do they just flap their wings and go like "Holy fuck! Fred! Look!! Fred! Fred!! Look man!!" *flap flap flap*

  5. On the Lokjo map, when clicking the blue Quick button, there's about 60+ different categories for local shops to search for your needs.

    There's more to find through the regular search.

    I'm working on a fix for some missing ones, which should be done in the next weeks.

    If anything isn't there, just let me know.

    p.s. Lokjo comes in english, spanish, french, dutch and german language.

  6. I think 2 years ago I've posted this rough idea as a solution for the draughts in Catalunia, asking if anybody knows an ingeneer etc and to pass the idea on. Maybe it worked!

  7. If you're on an osm-map (like ours) you can improve shop-information on streetcomplete.app , or mapcomplete.org or -if you have an account- on OSM.org

    OSM maps are up to date because of nearly 1.6 million active people doing exactly these things.

  8. Well look at that. The choice IS yours.

    Go ahead, do some good shopping today in your neighborhood. 😊

  9. Any 'center' newspaper who is talking bad -in any way- about solar panels is a newspaper depending on income from (US) investors who make money with gas/oil/coal, and obviously not being neutral.

    It's not a 'newspaper' it's an 'advertisement paper'.

    I though in 2025 this would be illegal but here we are. *looking at the thermometer*

  10. Happy 1st of May!

    The day putting attention on all of us, and the importance of supporting companies who give a fair pay to their workers.

    Buying = supporting. Go local!

    You can find them all on our map.

  11. If you like art (like me) and you're having a bored day (like me!) then get yourself a public transport day-ticket and do some gallery hopping.

    There's always some areas with a bit more galleries then usual.

    Example: Berlin, north area.

    This goes also for other stuff, check the Quick menu (blue round button) for suggestions.

    Have a great weekend guys. 😊
