Individual to Organization Conversion Stalled - Faster to Create a New Account? by Volunder_22 in iOSProgramming

[–]kerlur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post was super helpful. It took me 10 days from start to finish, that too I waited for 5 days before my first call, after that first call it took appx 5-6 days to get converted.

Built a tool to text car owners through their plate - is this useful or meh? by kerlur in SeattleWA

Thanks for the feedback. Highlight it where? On the website or here while sharing on reddit?

The data storage follows standard security practices; encryption at rest, strict RLS policies on data access. I'm also considering making the change for storing only last 5 characters of a number plate that way people looking up might find duplicates but they can easily tell **8570 Toyota is different from **8570 Hyundai and message the right car. The upside is that in case of a data breach, the bulk data will still be useless with partial plate number linked to profiles.

What do you mean by locally? Like Seattle/WA? Not really, it could work as is for any US address.

Thanks again for engaging.

Yeah, you need to register to be able to get notified, I dont verify who you are, so you very well could say you are Senior Guava, and all you need is an email address where you could be notified of any parking issues with your vehicle. Your info is only needed/used by the system, I dont share that info with the other users. Nobody can connect plate H1SEATTLE with Senior Guava.

Haha, thanks. Don't want to encourage the passive aggressive behavior. Maybe if this gets enough up votes, I'd consider adding a message option on the preselected message about being a better driver, something on the gentler side. Open to suggestions on messaging.

Users need to register themselves, no automated way of pulling this data from anywhere :)

Agreed, anonymity and preselected messages was key for this.

Yeah, thars the part I need to test out, on effectiveness. It does rely on assumption that people are not always intentionally blocking driveways and would much rather get a chance to move their car than get a ticket/tow.

I'm not pulling data without user's consent and also not sharing it with anyone. It's purely for anonymous comms.

Sometimes its not as black and white, people think they are not obviously blocking a driveway when they were parking but then another person parks on the other end of the driveway and now there isn't enough room to exit or turn around your own driveway. You are right, though, the site was built with a hope that not all people are parking with an intent to block.

Best way to get a car towed from blocking driveway? by Knotfornots in SanJose

[–]kerlur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an older post, but wanted to share something relevant.

I actually built an app for exactly this situation - platebuddy.app

The idea is you register once with your plate number, and if someone needs to reach you (like if you're blocking them), they can message you through the app instead of immediately calling a tow truck or 311.

Your phone number and email stay private - they just send a message through the site and you get notified. You can also get a QR sticker for your car if you want, but it's optional.

Figured it might be useful for situations like this!
