Introducing Pebbls V3: Built for the Journey Ahead
Pebbls looks different. You may have noticed.
New logo. New colours. New features. The entire platform and infrastructure has been rebuilt from scratch over the last few months.
I could write this the way most companies do: list every feature, add screenshots, explain what changed and why. But so much has changed that it would just feel overwhelming. So go and explore. Discover it yourself. But here's what's worth noticing:
Five languages. French, German, Spanish, Italian, English. Not just the buttons. Your journey content too. Send a trip to someone in France and they read it in French.
Communities. Free spaces for adventurers like you. Cyclists who'd rather take a wrong turn than stick to the route. Hikers who'd rather be lost on a trail than found on a pavement. People who live in vans, sail to places most people can't point to on a map. People who pack too much, or next to nothing at all, and sleep outdoors and understand that the best days are the ones you didn't plan. Browse communities
The journal. Your photos, your notes, your route. All put together the way it actually happened. Chapter by chapter. You end up with something you want to read again. Read some journals
Flyby videos. Your route from above, in 3D. Cinematic, smooth, and surprisingly beautiful. Even the boring bits look good from up there. Watch a flyby
Live tracking. Let people follow your journey from home. They see your dot move across the map in real time. It's the next best thing to being there.
Sharing that works. When you send someone a Pebbls link, they see a real photo and a real title. Not a blank box that looks like spam.
Pebbls is just me. No team. No office. No investors. Just someone who cares too much about this and keeps looking up from the screen to find it's 6am and the birds are already singing and I forgot to go to bed. Again.
I made this because I wanted to share what adventure feels like with people back home. The freedom. The wonder of slow travel. But also because after weeks on the road, you start forgetting the details. Which village was which. What that afternoon actually felt like. I wanted a way to hold onto it.
That's what Pebbls is for. Getting people outside. Helping them notice things. Nature, culture, the good stuff that happens when you slow down long enough to let it in. Explore the map
What's Next
Better community tools. Better photo stuff. More languages if people want them. There's always more to do.
If you've been here from the start, thank you. If you're new, welcome.
