I MADE AN APP WHERE NEIGHBORS HELP EACH OTHER

Hey all, I'm the developer, so take this with that in mind. \*\*What it does:\*\* you post what you need and what it's worth (a jump-start, a couch carried up the stairs, leaves raked, a Wi-Fi router set up). Neighbours nearby offer to help. You compare their rating, how many people they've helped and their note, then pick one. A private chat opens only after you pick. What it doesn't do: \- No fees or commission. Any payment is between you and your neighbour; the app never touches money. \- Your address is never shown, only a rough area and your neighbourhood name. \- No cold messages. Nobody can message you until you pick them. \*\*New in 3.0:\*\* colour themes (Sunny, Ocean, Plum), Top helpers near you with their thank-you notes, a ping when someone nearby needs a hand (you choose how far), and "Ask Neighbr for help" with Siri. Free on the App Store (iPhone, Canada and US): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/neighbr-help-or-find-help/id6759352996 It's a young app, so how many helpers you'll see depends on your area. Honest feedback is very welcome, especially: what would make you trust a neighbour's offer?

    Skipping the payment middleman while keeping addresses hidden is the exact kind of tradeoff I can get behind.
