Open Community Map is a social platform helping people and local businesses to connect, collaborate and interact based on their location.
We want to put everything you need to know about certain area on one map - needs, local news, offers, ideas, services and much more. It won't be a mess - you get to pick what you want to see.
You can also be more than just an observer in this - be as active as you like! - ask or answer, share news and ideas about local places and areas, help others, comment, vote and moderate.
We're also not doing all this by ourselves - we recognize and need other projects and great ideas and want to work together - we're building API, extensions SDK and ability to embed our map with predefined filters and UI.
We're Open Source and want this to be built and maintained by the community.
Our purpose is to help people build new connections within the community - social, business or just finding like-minded people and overcoming the crisis together.
With COVID-19 situation - social distancing, people mostly staying home, shrinking economy and business connections we need to find new ways to connect people and move to the next level of visibility and collaboration in the local environment and communities.
We believe the solution could be a location-based software platform acting as a hub for various services helping people in local communities to get better visibility, communicate and collaborate more efficiently.
It’s basically an open map-like system allowing people and local (or global) businesses to participate in it using some of the services we provide. Part of them are developed by us, others - by 3rd parties thus making the platform extendable and adaptive to various environments and conditions.
The platform will have a built-in or integrated reputation system based on user's activity inside the platform. The platform will be maintained and controlled by the community while certain actions will be available for users with special permissions and certain reputation levels. In future the reputation points could be exchanged for certain services or local goods.
