Local Community Bulletin Board

Inspiration

In our neighborhoods, it's easy to miss important updates like lost pets or local events. I wanted to build a digital space where people can stay informed and connected—something simple, clean, and useful for everyone.

What it does

It’s a modern community bulletin board where residents can:

• Share posts (events, alerts, lost pets, etc.)
• Filter by category (like Safety or Power Issues)
• Highlight urgent updates
• View contact info and dates with each post

How we built it

The project was built using:

• React + TypeScript for the frontend
• Tailwind CSS for styling
• Vite as the build tool
• Deployed using Netlify
• Developed on StackBlitz, powered by Bolt AI

Challenges we ran into

Some of the challenges included:

• Getting filtering and search to work smoothly
• Making the layout mobile-friendly
• Managing dependencies when moving from StackBlitz to GitHub/Netlify

Accomplishments we’re proud of

• Fully working prototype with clean UI
• Mobile-friendly and fast performance
• Easy to deploy and update via GitHub + Netlify

What we learned

• Better use of React hooks and TypeScript
• Configuring modern tools like Vite and Tailwind
• How to ship a polished app quickly using online tools

What’s next

• Add a backend to save posts
• Allow users to log in and manage their posts
• Add real-time updates and notifications
