A front porch for the whole street
Notice boards, tool libraries, lost-and-found — little pages that make a block feel like a neighborhood.
Neighborhoods run on small favors
Someone has a ladder to lend, someone found a cat, someone's giving away zucchini again. Give those things a place to land — one page behind a QR code in the lobby or on a lamppost — and the favors start finding each other.
And it's your block's page: your building's floors, your street's names, the bakery on the corner, in whatever language your neighbors actually speak. Made by a neighbor, for the neighbors, and it reads that way.
Describe your street and what the board is for, print the QR code, and it's up by the weekend. When something changes, tell it — the board stays current because keeping it current takes a sentence.

Questions
- How do neighbors get to the board?
- It's a web page, so a link is enough — and a QR code on a poster in the lobby, by the mailboxes, or on the community board is the classic move. Anyone who scans it is looking at the board, no app store in between.
- Can neighbors post to it directly?
- A board works best with a keeper — neighbors send you the lost cat or the free ladder the way they already reach you, and you post it in seconds. The page publishes what its keeper enters, which is also what keeps a public board kind and spam-free.
- Is it safe to put on a lamppost where anyone can scan it?
- Keep the details neighborly rather than precise — a cross street instead of an address, a first name and a way to reach you instead of a phone number for all to see. You decide what the board shows, so it can be exactly as public as a paper flyer.
- Does it cost the street anything to run?
- Publishing a board puts it on the web at its own link at no extra charge, and neighbors opening it pay nothing and sign up for nothing. One neighbor builds it; the whole street gets a page.
