Little site to help connect the people on your street together
Sooo I got to thinking about how I don't really want to be FB friends with the people on my street, but that it would still be pretty useful to be able to chat about local issues with my neighbours. https://streetmates.net This idea probably isn't going to appeal to HN much. It's not very revolutionary. But there sort of seems to be a bit of a gap for this level of geographically-close, online communication.
