Every Brikoula user has different needs: one is looking for a business service, another is planning a trip, and a third wants to post a real estate listing. This is where the idea of "Hats" comes in — a smart feature that adapts the map to each user instead of showing everything at once.
What Is the Hats Idea?
The user picks a "hat" that represents how they're using the app at that moment. Based on the selected hat, the markers shown on the map are automatically filtered to display only what's relevant to them.
How It Works
The user's profile picture appears at the top of the map.
Tapping this picture opens a window to choose the appropriate hat.
After selecting and saving, the markers on the map instantly change to match the chosen hat.
The user can reopen the same icon anytime to switch hats depending on their current need — for example, switching from "Traveler" to "Real Estate."

Why This Feature Matters
A fast, personalized experience: each user sees only what matters to them, without manually sifting through irrelevant markers.
Full flexibility: the hat can be changed anytime based on the user's current goal — the same person might be a "Traveler" today and a "Business Owner" tomorrow.
A cleaner map: instead of clutter from unrelated information, the map stays clear and focused.
Conclusion
The Hats system in Brikoula is more than a design detail — it's a smart tool that adapts the app to each user instead of forcing them to browse everything at once. Whether you're a merchant, traveler, explorer, handyman, or property seeker, Brikoula gives you a map designed just for you.
