Everything residents currently scatter across email blasts and group chats.
The extra ladder, the patio set, moving boxes, and free stuff on the curb. Members browse or search it anytime.
Help offered and help wanted: pet sitting, tutoring, airport rides, someone to water plants in August.
Weekend projects, seasonal work, and local openings, posted where a familiar name means something.

By invite link, or by requesting access for a moderator to approve. You choose the policy when you create the community and can change it later.

The community owner and anyone they name as a moderator — typically two or three board members. Moderators approve join requests and remove posts.
No. It runs in the browser, and residents sign in with an emailed link, a passkey, or Google — no passwords to reset.
Create the community, post one item and one service request, and bring the link to the next meeting.
