It also allows people to tag their posts with one of seven moods -- happy, sad, surprised, drunk, angry, flirty or fun.

So what do the notes tell you about the city?

  • Financial District -- Angriest
  • SoHo -- Happiest
  • Williamsburg -- Drunkest
  • Clinton Hill -- Saddest
  • Union Square -- Flirtiest

Wyst's creators say the idea for the app, which was "handcrafted in Brooklyn," came from the following question:

"Wouldn't it be awesome to freeze this moment in time, in this place, so that when someone else passes by this same spot they can find it and experience it themselves?"
