Town Square
The community layer, owned by the community.
A neighbor-run alternative to Big Tech’s feeds — bulletin boards, events, and groups for your town, with no ads and no algorithm deciding what you see.
Jailbird JoeyTurn yourself into an inmate card. Only you see it — until an admin throws the station switch, and then everyone is one.

HoodBnB
A floor to sleep on, offered by a neighbor: couch, spare room, driveway — mostly for people traveling in for a meeting or a hearing. No money moves through this site.
🔑
HoodRide
Older, affordable, fixable cars sold neighbor to neighbor — daily drivers, beaters, buckets and analog iron. Nothing newer than 2009. No money moves through this site.
🏷️
Swap Meet
What your neighbors are done with: tools, furniture, bikes, a whole garage before a move. Sell it, swap it, lend it, or give it away. No money moves through this site — sellers name their own payment app and you pay them directly.
🚕
Taxi
A ride from a neighbor, not a company. Somebody driving to the courthouse on Tuesday with an empty seat, and somebody who has a hearing at nine and no way to get there. Nobody is dispatched, nobody is rated out of five, and nobody takes a cut. Every ride is free right now.
