Community Connect — Bringing Cities Together

Inspiration

Local communities often feel disconnected. People live close together but rarely interact, collaborate, or take part in decisions that shape their environment. We wanted to build a platform that makes it effortless for neighbors to discuss issues, organize events, and vote on ideas that matter.

What It Does

Community Connect is a city-based social platform where users can:

🌆 Join or Create a City Community

  • Users sign up and automatically join communities based on their verified city.
  • If a city has no community yet, the first user becomes the community creator.

💬 Discussions (Posts)

  • Anyone can create a discussion with a title + content + optional media.
  • Users can react, comment, and engage with topics relevant to their city.
  • Creators can edit or delete their own discussions.

🗳️ Proposals & Voting

  • The community creator acts as the Community Leader.
  • Leaders can publish proposals that the entire community can vote on.
  • Each proposal shows live voting (For vs Against) and a countdown timer.
  • When the timer ends, the proposal auto-classifies as Accepted, Rejected, or Neutral.
  • A Proposal History page shows all past outcomes.

📅 Events & RSVP

  • Anyone can create public events with title, description, date, and location.
  • Users can choose Attending or Not Attending.
  • Once an event date passes, it automatically moves to Event History.

👤 User Profiles

  • Users set their occupation, interests, brief bio, and a profile image.
  • Interests help personalize the discussions they see.

How It Helps Communities

Community Connect reduces friction and gives residents simple tools to:

  • Meet neighbors
