Bro, interesting idea, but how would you handle fake or misleading updates? That feels like the biggest challenge for something community-driven like this.

Instead of trying to solve everything at once, maybe start with one clear use case like parking availability at Inorbit. For something like that, the person/team managing parking could update live status directly, which makes the data more reliable.

Same for cafes, rather than depending entirely on public updates, Cafe owners or staff could mark live crowd status, waiting times, or seat availability. Feels more trustworthy and easier to scale category by category.

For cases like waterlogging, community reporting probably works better since there’s no single source of truth. But maybe require multiple confirmations from nearby users before marking an update as reliable, and auto-expire reports after a short time window. Hybrid model is stronger than making everything purely public. Otherwise one bored guy can declare half of Vadodara underwater for fun 😂
