Main's World

Travel the map through time and space to find your people.

Welcome to the Main's World knowledge base: the open, community-editable source of truth for what Main's World is, how it works, and the idea it's built on — SHIP, a Secure Human Interaction Protocol.

Main's World is a new kind of app. Not a social network, not a maps app, not an events app — the first of a new class, built around sharing places, time, and appreciation while keeping your personal details out of the app.

Start here​

  • Getting started — Main's World runs inside World App. How to get it and open the map for the first time.
  • What is SHIP? — the idea in plain language, and why it's a category of its own.
  • Manifesto — what we believe and the world we're building.
  • How Main's World works — the worlds, moments, vibes, and crews.
  • The economy — how appreciation between Mains is the only thing of value.
