Your neighborhood,
yours by design

Neighbors helping neighbors.
You can post “I can help” or “I need help.” Your stuff stays on your phone or computer — not sold by a big company.

how it works
01
Connect
You pick a nickname. The app hooks up to a small program on your device (Holochain). No big-company login.
02
Post
Say what you can give or what you need. It gets shared with people you’re linked to — not one giant website.
03
Browse
Use the board to search, pick a category, or filter by area. See what neighbors posted.
04
Finish up
Someone says “I’ll help,” you chat in a thread, then mark it done. You can leave a short thank-you note — not a star rating.

Doorstep

Helping people near you. Your data stays with you and neighbors — not a corporation.

NeighborsHelping handsYour deviceHolochain
STEP 1
Connect
This saves your info on your device and shares with people you’re connected to.
not connected

New here? If Connect says a password or “ticket” is missing, that’s OK until the Holochain program is running on your computer. Think of it like Wi‑Fi: you need the right hookup first. Your ID code and app code boxes stay empty until it really connects. You can still open Home and try the demo board.

STEP 2
Write a post
What do you have to give, or need from neighbors?
🤝
I can help
Offer a skill, time, or thing
🙋
I need help
Ask the neighborhood

⚠ Mark as urgent / crisis — neighbors see this first

Privacy: Your post only goes to people you’re linked with. It’s stamped with your ID so others can’t fake being you.

STEP 3

What happens after you connect
📡
Your post spreads
After you connect, your post reaches neighbors you’re linked with — no one big server owns it.
🤝
Someone accepts
They tap to help. You both get a chat thread.
✅
Done & thank-you
Either person can mark it finished. You can write a short thank-you — not likes or stars.

Humans in charge
Your group picks the rules for an area. Problems go to real people, not a secret formula.

Connect, then open a card from the board. Chats, “done,” and thank-yous save in your app on your device.

Something real happened
When you mark done, both people get a saved record on their devices. No random company owns that story.
