Hyperlocal
A digital community built around where you live.
Unlike broad social feeds, Hyperlocal organises conversation around geographical communities. GPS coordinates and Uber H3 indexing associate users with local community areas. Members can publish updates, comment on posts, explore nearby communities and receive notifications.
Stronger neighbourhood connections start with better communication.
- Location-based community assignment using GPS and H3 indexing.
- Neighbourhood feed for locally relevant posts and updates.
- Comment threads for ongoing community discussions.
- Real-time notifications and unread-count updates.
- Nearby community discovery and post search.
- Authenticated user accounts with profile and location management.
- Next.js web frontend and Flutter mobile codebase.
| Conventional approach | Hyperlocal |
|---|---|
| Broad social feeds | Geographically focused community posts |
| Manually finding groups | GPS-based community assignment |
| Fragmented updates | Community feed and real-time notifications |
| Unstructured location information | H3-based geographical organisation |

Structured access and location-aware technology.
The platform uses JWT-based authentication and authenticated Socket.IO connections. PostgreSQL and PostGIS support geographical data handling; Uber H3 resolution 8 organises neighbourhood cells (approximately 0.74 km² per cell).
Built on a modern geospatial technology stack.
