Starting with one pilot place

Your place. Your issues. Your plan.

Post the problems you live with and the ideas you have. Work them out with your neighbours, get them to the office that can act, and build a long-term plan for where you live.

Why this exists

Communities already know their problems. What’s missing is a path, and a memory.

  1. 01

    Issues die in the wrong inbox

    Nobody knows which office owns the problem, and that office never hears of it in a form it can act on.

  2. 02

    Ideas scatter and fade

    A good proposal gets shared in a WhatsApp group, argued about once, and lost. Nothing turns it into a plan someone can fund.

  3. 03

    Nobody keeps the long view

    A pothole gets fixed; the road never gets built. No one holds the three-year picture of what a place needs.

How it works

One issue, from a phone to a plan.

Six steps. Each depends on the one before it. Follow an example post through the loop.
