Would you be interested in a product to better understand your local environment? Almost like a decentralized CNN for your neighborhood?

So I’ve been thinking about building something to better understand your local environment. It seems to me that many people are more aware of things going on miles away than in their own neighborhood, or at least maybe that’s just my experience. But that’s why i would love input from the jellies.

My vision is something like a local TV, or your own personal CNN for your neighborhood or school. Itd have similar elements to the public map on Snapchat. You’d open the product and see things bubbling around your neighborhood or town, maybe events, maybe one of your neighbors loves to curate events in your neighborhood so you follow his show, or maybe local businesses want to highlight new product offerings and you see their new offering bubbling nearby.

I’m currently trying to do more research. Twitter claims to replicate the “town square” but I believe a town square is for the TOWN, not the world. This is what I’m trying to improve. I also think many people are starting to distrust large news organizations so I believe making news more decentralized could be a step forward for certain cases.

Anyways, I’d love to get feedback on anything, ideas, or info/stories on how you may have kept in touch with local happenings in your town that you found effective. Thanks!
