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.
