A Chrome extension that turns your new tab into a neighborhood dashboard. Stay informed about what's happening locally without doomscrolling social media.

Participation — Live and upcoming opportunities to have your voice heard: deliberation sessions, community conversations, local meetings.
Your Location — Pick your country, city, and neighborhood. See only what's relevant to where you live.
Install from Chrome Web Store — recommended, auto-updates
