Inspiration
It bothers me to see so many wasted resources, piling dust in my household. What if I could easily put it at the disposal of my neighbours and my community? Inversely, if I need a drill to make a whole to hang a portrait, why do I need to buy a drill myself? It would be easier, faster and cheaper if I could simply get it from a neighbour. There should be a collaborative economy solution for this...
What does it do?
Active Neighbour enables transactions among neighbours. Not only for household items, but also services that could be distributed more efficiently within a neighborhood: baby-sitting, elderly care, pet walking, shared cooking, etc.
How I built it
We used ruby on rails and the google maps API to connect people within a neighborhood so that only neighbors have access to posts relating each particular neighborhood complex.
Challenges I ran into
Creating a smooth, intuitive experience for the user.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It works!
What I learned
Great functionalities that people can't easily understand and use, are not great at all.
What's next for Active Neighbour
