The itch
Local communities run on chat groups and scattered posts. Important things get buried. I wanted one place that stays tidy.
A community first, not a feed
The first question was not features. It was: what does a neighbourhood or an office actually need to say to each other?
Tools for real work
Problem reports, announcements, events and booking. Small tools that do one job and live inside a Space.
One sign-in
One account across the network, so nobody keeps six passwords. That became IDUnify.
Apps, to keep it alive
A hub of small games and apps, because a community that is only forms does not feel like a place.
Now
I design, extend and run Plaazaa as a product. It is still growing, and I still use it myself.
