Interesting idea! It’s not one we’ve specifically discussed, but the vision that we can have Just About Anything eventually means that if there was enough appetite for it then there’s no reason why not.

I'm keen on this (and we did have "Just About Brighton" on our demo site!).

I agree that local media has been run down to the extent that it's generally pretty terrible now. The content quality, the overloading of ads, clickbait and chasing of search traffic/page views... Local Facebook groups then became the default place for local discussions, but (for Brighton at least) it's just people complaining about their bin collections!

I love the idea that local guides/experts could be rewarded for providing helpful, informative and entertaining content that is relevant to their community (or visitors to a place) that local media can't or doesn't.

The questions would be to what extent could incentivised/rewarded content for local communities create new types of content that people would find useful? And what would be the best way of organising and presenting that information?

Kind of like Nextdoor which is super local I assume?
