HutSee is a new social platform for neighbors that focuses on creating meaningful connections within your neighborhood by sharing resources like tools, books, knowledge, fresh garden picks, rides to work, and more.

My aim in writing HutSee is to have a place online where neighbors favor mindful discussion over posting minor grievances, empathy and kindness over making hurtful comments, mutual aid and honoring community over a 'get-off-my-lawn' attitude.

The project is still a work in progress but it's at a place where it can be shared outside of friends and family to get feedback. I set up a read-only demo environment for this on heroku here:

Thank you for checking it out. I can also setup your neighborhood on HutSee if you'd like to use it yourself ( provided it's in the US and I can find the shape data for postgis ) - just let me know!

I don't want to share and talk with my neighbors. I don't know my neighbors names and I don't want to know. That's why my lockdown project was an anti-social solitary endeavor that can be appreciated alone in darkness. Lockdown didn't make me miss social contact. It made me appreciate solitude.


ya that's understandable thanks. what's your project?
