01The story

The problem, and how we solved it

The challenge

Parents juggle busy schedules and scattered channels, WhatsApp groups, local boards, resale apps, with no single trusted place built around their kids’ ages and neighbourhood. The product needed to feel safe, effortless, and genuinely local.

  • Scattered channels

    WhatsApp groups, local boards and resale apps — all separate.

  • No trusted local space

    Nothing built around kids’ ages and the parent’s neighbourhood.

  • Relevance

    Feeds needed to stay useful: right age, right area.

  • Safety & ease

    It had to feel safe and effortless for busy parents.

Our approach

We shaped the core loops, connect, meet, and exchange, into a simple, warm interface, then engineered it on Flutter with a Supabase backend for realtime data, auth, and notifications. Location and age-based discovery keep every feed relevant.
