Hyperlocal social for real rooms in real cities. Profiles, events, and a NestJS API — Edmonton-first, built so people get discovered without a generic website.
Lo-cal — get discovered locally
Hyperlocal social platform. Public beta at lo-cal.app. I am co-founder/CTO.
City
const launch = "Edmonton";
Role
const role = "CTO";
Beta
const app = "live";
Stack
const api = "NestJS";
Why local
Instagram is global and noisy. Eventbrite is a listing. Most local operators still send people to a website that ranks for nothing in their city.
Lo-cal is the profile + event layer for people who actually show up. The company runs real events while the app is in beta.
Engineering
- Turborepo: Next.js web and NestJS API
- Better Auth, Prisma/Postgres, Redis, MinIO
- Marketing waitlist, in-app feed, profiles, and event surfaces
- Shipped as a public beta while events already happen offline
