Swipe to discover cool things nearby with Landmark

Maps are excellent when you already know the destination. They are less helpful when the question is vaguer and more human: what is actually worth doing near me right now?

That is the problem Landmark is built for.

Landmark is a web app from Enter the Limelight that turns nearby discovery into a simple swipe. You set a search radius, choose a category — historical attractions, food and drink, or hidden gems — and work through a deck of places. Swipe right to save something you want to visit. Swipe left to skip it. Scroll a card first if you want the longer story before you decide.

It is not a dating app. It is a discovery app for the real world.

Why swipe beats another ranked list

Most “things to do” experiences bury you under infinite scroll, stars, and ads for the same handful of landmarks everyone already knows. Landmark flips the interaction: one place at a time, a clear decision, and a saved list that belongs to you.

That matters when you are:

• visiting a city and tired of the same top-ten roundup
• killing an afternoon between meetings
• hunting for a quieter neighborhood spot you would never search for by name
• traveling somewhere new and want options within a walkable or driveable radius

What you can filter for

Landmark organizes discovery into three lanes:

1. Historical — museums, monuments, heritage sites, and places with a past worth showing up for.
2. Food & drink — restaurants, cafes, bars, and bakeries near your pin.
3. Hidden gems — viewpoints, parks, galleries, and the quieter finds that do not always win the algorithm wars.

You can browse All, or lock the deck to one category when you know the vibe.

How it works

1. Open landmark.enterthelimelight.com.
2. Allow location (or work from the area the app detects).
3. Set your radius and category.
4. Swipe through cards — each one includes a photo when available, a short blurb, distance, and room to scroll for more detail.
5. Save the keepers. Skip the rest.

Your saved places stay with you in the app so you can come back when you are ready to go.

Built to work wherever you are

Landmark is not a single-city guidebook. It is designed around your location and radius, so the same flow works in New York, a small coastal town, or anywhere else you open it. The point is not a static list of attractions — it is a living deck for here.

Where Landmark fits in the Limelight studio

Limelight started with Inkwell: free, local-first software for finishing novels. Landmark is the studio’s second product — for the hours when the book can wait and the city (or the block outside your door) should not.

If you want the writing desk, open Inkwell. If you want the afternoon outside, open Landmark.
