👋 Hey, Makers.
📖 About
Backdrop Beta first launched 6 months ago with 8 cities, and limited features. Since then, along with ~1000 beta testers, we've received feedback, reviews, contributions and we've evolved the app into something we are all proud of.
If you are not familiar with Backdrop, it is an app and social network that lets people find and share beautiful spaces around the world.
Now, Backdrop 1.0 (available on the app store for iOS users), has a lot of new features like;
— Improved search capabilities
— Location filters
— 'Backdrops near me' feature
— Upload your own backdrops
— Review backdrops from community members
— New cities
😤 Problem Backdrop Solves
There’s currently no go-to app dedicated to finding pretty places. While you *can* stumble upon these places on other apps, they aren’t built primarily for travel discovery. They have a bunch of bells and whistles that end up serving as barriers in the way of the traveller, photographer, influencer or everyday user specifically searching for gorgeous places to take pictures (or simply chill).
⚡️ Solution
This is where Backdrop comes in. Our niche is prioritising and hyper-focusing on these picturesque places. At any given time, your Backdrop feed, which you can customise to suit your tastes, offers a steady stream of stunning spots from all around the world. We even curate and aggregate all the necessary information about said places, answering questions like, “Is that restaurant pet-friendly?” “What time does that bar open?” and “How expensive is that boutique hotel?”
So, not only can users easily find thousands of backdrops based on their desired aesthetics — minimalist, rustic, vintage and more — but they can also immediately find all the key details about the backdrop without having to leave the app. This is especially great for content creators, who usually have to spend hours finding the perfect place to create — from the colours to the architectural design, to ease of entry.

❤️ Feedback
We'd love to hear from you about this product or if you have any questions. We'd love to answer them.
🙏 Thanks
Thank you so much to our early testers! Your feedback has been instrumental in building & improving our app. We’ve added some exciting new features. So much more still to come but thank you for being our day ones!! 💕
Backdrop isn’t just for travellers and content creators; it’s for anyone with a sense of adventure. We’ve seen how the pandemic has fundamentally altered the way people navigate the world. A lot of exploring is now more domestic and regional, and people want to find beautiful spaces in the communities they live in.
Expanding the original idea beyond finding pretty places when on vacation, anyone can use Backdrop to find places worth visiting just minutes away from them — and we’ll even show you how to get there. The feature is called “Backdrops Near You,” and it’s my fave. Check it out!
@damiodufuwa really enjoyed learning about your app. We developed a technology for adding digital content into physical objects and public spaces (launching on PH this week) and would love to collab sometime!
