BuffMap Wants to Remember Street Art Before the Gray Paint Arrives

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A privacy-first San Diego archive and map for tracking street art, its disappearance, and the artists behind the walls.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

The homepage models a record with a unique identifier, a current-state label, and a before-and-after view showing the original piece against municipal-gray paint. Its proposed browsing structure separates a wall feed from a city map and includes protective location choices intended to reduce doxxing risk. The page reports zero live published records, making this an early-stage presentation rather than evidence of an operating archive.
