Have you guys tried hyper local social apps such as NextDoor?

Such an app is practically non-existent in Asia and I was wondering if there could be a gap that can be filled. Nonetheless, there have been a lot of criticism regarding privacy and racism. Possibly build a better mousetrap?

    I use Nextdoor in my neighborhood. Most of us do. We're a small-ish community that likes to keep track of yard sales, events going on in the area, break-ins, and stuff like that. My personal experience hasn't demonstrated any racism, but I know there are many examples of neighborhoods where that isn't the case, unfortunately.

    If you build a platform, people will find a way to be crappy on it.

      Are you concern about the privacy issue? I have read alot about strangers walking straight up to houses if you disclose your full address.

        We don't post our exact address, just the neighborhood we live in.
