In a bold move for me, I posted on NextDoor explaining what I'm building and asking for feedback.

Honestly, great decision - we figured out a couple of basic issues, I got some insight into how people may use it, and have had lovely feedback on the idea, and comments saying it's very easy to use. Surprised and thrilled tbh.

Committing to keeping NextDoor updated every Sunday 🌼

A key part of this project is separating out organisations, locations and services.

They're often used interchangeably, and it makes it hard to understand what's happening.

Example: this repair cafe is organised by a local branch of The Repair Cafe Foundation and a local org, Sunflower House. The event happens at 1 of 2 locations operated by Sunflower House - this one is also called Sunflower House.
