Information displayed on the map lets a user know more about his neighborhood and surroundings. This circle will move along with the user and updates itself as the location changes. The number of posts in an area will be displayed inside the circle. Go Public or Go Private Acourant addresses both public and private aspects of a users post. With Acourant you can post either for public or for private. The unique combination of public, private posts makes Acourant stand out in its field. In order to connect with a user one will have to request before viewing their restricted posts. AI based Photo and Video Thumbnail selection Acourant selects the most important portion of a photo or a video to be represented as a thumbnail in the grid. This has multifold benefits, Firstly the entire concept of clickbait is completely reduced here and viewers are not fooled into clicking a video or a photo. Secondly, the thumbnail being set by an artificially intelligent system decides what is best for a user based on their interests. A New Concept of a Social Media feed Acourant addresses the feed feature by showing only the most important aspects of a photo/video in a grid to a user. Liking and commenting on a post will happen only when a user expresses interest in a post and clicks on it to give a full blown out view.
