Tex — you are a non-fungible human

What to leave in MATRIX

Four kinds of drop, pinned to a real place, opened only by whoever walks up to it.

Open Tex

The four kinds

Pick one when you drop something. Each takes only what it needs.

Note — open to anyone, no lock, no limit unless you set one.
Coupon — a code or a deal, with a cap on how many people can claim it.
Product — something for sale nearby, with a price and a link.
Secret — up to 500 characters, locked behind a word you choose.

Ideas for the street

Leave a photo of the view from a spot only locals know about.
Pin a note with a piece of local history at the place it happened.
Turn a walk into a scavenger hunt: a chain of secrets, each one hinting at the next spot.
Leave a lost-and-found note where you found something, for whoever lost it.
Mark a good photo spot so the next person does not have to guess the angle.
Leave a coupon at your own shop for whoever walks in — no app-specific hardware, no printing.
Advertise something you are selling nearby as a product drop, with a price and a link.
Leave a secret for one specific person, locked behind a word only they would know.

For a business

There is no separate paid tool for this — it is the same drop anyone can leave, used with a shop in mind. A coupon pinned outside the door is a deal nobody can claim from their couch: they have to be standing there. Tex does not charge for it and does not sell extra visibility for a drop.

Questions people ask

What can I leave in MATRIX?

Four kinds of drop: a note (open to anyone, no lock), a coupon (a code or a deal, with a cap on how many people can claim it), a product (something for sale nearby, with a price and a link), or a secret (a longer message, up to 500 characters, locked behind a word only the people you tell can type).

Does someone have to be standing there to open it?

Yes. A drop shows up on the map before it can be opened, but opening it is only allowed once the app confirms you are actually at that spot. That is what turns a link into a reason to walk somewhere.

Can I limit how many people get it?

Yes. Set a cap when you drop it — one for a secret meant for a single person, ten for the first ten to find a coupon, or leave it open for a story with no limit.

Can a business use this to promote a shop?

A coupon drop pinned outside a store is a deal nobody can claim from their couch — they have to be at the door. There is no separate paid tool for this: it is the same drop anyone can leave, used with a business in mind. Tex does not charge for it and does not offer a way to pay for more visibility for a drop.

Does the photo or the drop expire?

A drop does not expire on its own. It stays until the claim cap is reached (if it has one) or whoever left it removes it.

Can other people see a drop without the app?

Every drop gets its own public web page, with a real map, that can be shared outside Tex. It shows the same public hint everyone sees before claiming — never what is locked behind a secret word.
