About

'Meet Your Street' is a Social Network for Neibhgourhoods in order to organize their daily and social life. Share a garden hose, a wicked mower or look for neighbours who could bring you some meds while you're sick in bed: post it on Meet Your Street and get things done within your neighbourhood.

'Meet Your Street' was built as a second coding project during Web Development Immersive at General Assembly London.

Problems

• There are a lot of social networks and sharing-websites out there. But who wants to drive 100 miles to get a garden hose. You want to be able to share stuff within your neighbourhood. It's social and good for the environment. Apart from that: You get in contact with your neighbours.
• Neighbourhoods are getting more and more anonymous. On Meet Your Street you can find like-minded people, f.e. for a a barbacue or a run in the park.
• Elderly people are dependent on help from other people. F.e. to get a ride to the doctor or get some groceries. On Meet Your Street, you can organize this easily.

Solution and how it works

• 'Meet Your Street' gets neighbours together digitally. All Posts on 'Meet Your Street' are geo-tagged. Only Neighbours in a range of max 1 Mile can access your profile and your posts.
• 'Meet Your Street' is set-up as easy as possible. Mein Use-Cases are: ++ Uploading Posts (Text, Image) in order to offer sth. or look for sth. ++ Comment on Posts in order to organize everything or exchange details via Email ++ Restrict access to posts and users based on your registration-info (Street, Post-Code, City) ++ Allow access to posts only for users in the same neighbourhood

Optimizations

• Add SMS-Verification
• Add interactive Google Map to search within a neighbourhood
• Define Neighbourhood not only on distance but on area or zip-code etc.
• Display neighbourhood on Google Map
