Where neighbors actually connect
Create a digital town square for your neighborhood, town, or region. Local knowledge, shared.
Nextdoor isn't the answer
Nextdoor is full of ads, drama, and lost pet posts. Facebook groups get buried in the algorithm. Your community deserves better.
A forum you control means your community sets the tone. Organize discussions by topic. Keep local knowledge accessible. Build real connections.
