Remarkable is the chat the project has, as we've build it from the ground up and extended quite significantly (share custom content / app stories and process them in a unique way, read indicators, one can like messages, group chats etc).

Despite the fact that the map is a central elements, the most technically complicated parts are related to images and video processing. We've created various features like color toning, contracts/brightness, stickers, free license audio tracks on top of video, various video filters and much much more to help create a really unique content.
