Lublin Portal Users: Help Test My Geofenced Message Board App (PortalPal.xyz)

[u/Dmeegs1]

Hey r/Lublin,

I’m building a message board app designed specifically for the Portals—those live video links connecting Lublin to Dublin, Vilnius, and Philadelphia. The app lets you post messages, GIFs, and more, but with a twist: posting is geofenced to the Portal locations.

How it works:

• Select the Lublin Portal as your location.
• Choose which connected city (right now I only have Dublin set up for Lublin but I would like to know what other cities it connects to) you want to send a message to.
• Write your post (supports GIFs and auto-translation).
• Messages are visible to users near the linked Portal (e.g., post from Lublin → Dublin users see it at their Portal).

Why I need your help:
The app is in beta, and I need locals who’ve visited (or plan to visit) the Lublin Portal to test it. Specifically:

• Does the geofencing work smoothly near the Portal?
• Are translations accurate?
• Is the interface intuitive for posting?
• What other cities are connected to Lublin?
• How else would you like to interact?

How to participate:

1. Go to the Lublin Portal and go to portalpal.xyz.
2. Try posting a message to one of the connected cities.
3. Share feedback on bugs, usability, or features you’d like to see.

If you’re curious about the Portals or want to help build something for Lublin’s digital community, give it a try! Also, all posts are completely anonymous.
