What it is

An interactive world map application that pins travel postcards from 12 global cities onto a zoomable, draggable Mercator canvas, featuring 3D tilt effects, flip-to-reveal quotes, immersive city journals, and a user postcard composer.

Why it works

The skeuomorphic postcard-and-pin metaphor makes geo-located storytelling feel personal and tangible, while GSAP-driven physics and tilt effects reward curiosity with satisfying micro-interactions at every click.

Best-fit use cases

Travel bloggers, tourism brands, and creative studios who want an immersive narrative format that goes far beyond a typical photo gallery or embedded map.

Customization ideas

Swap city photos and journal content for your own destinations, rebrand pin colors to match your palette, or extend the map with custom tile layers and additional postcard categories.

How to use it

Clone the project, replace the city data and imagery with your own travel content, and deploy — the map interactions, card animations, and postcard composer work out of the box.

• GSAP-powered 3D tilt, flip, and physics-based card animations
• Mercator-projected zoomable/draggable canvas with OpenStreetMap tiles
• Per-card immersive journal overlay with photo gallery and travel tips
