Parky

🚗 Parky — Smart Parking Marketplace

"Turning idle spaces into smart urban infrastructure."

💡 Inspiration

Finding a parking spot in urban cities is often a nightmare—leading to traffic congestion, wasted fuel, and immense stress. Meanwhile, thousands of private driveways and garages sit empty during the day.

We built Parky to bridge this gap, inspired by platforms like Airbnb, creating an "Airbnb for Parking" that turns idle real estate into a valuable resource.

🚗 What it does

Parky is a peer-to-peer parking marketplace that allows:

• Drivers to find, book, and navigate to verified parking spaces in seconds
  
• Features an AI-powered Smart Search that understands queries like "cheap parking near the airport"
  
• Hosts to list unused driveways, garages, or plots and earn passive income
  
• EV Owners to filter spaces with charging stations
  

🛠️ How we built it

• Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS
  
• Mapping:
  
  • Google Maps (primary)
    
  • Leaflet (OpenStreetMap fallback)
    
• UI: Lucide React + modern glassmorphism design
  
• Search: Smart Search combining location + semantic queries
  

🚧 Challenges we ran into

One major challenge was API dependency.
Connecting to Real Time GPS too lot of time We also optimized geospatial queries for accurate nearby results.
