BlockParty — neighbors planning little things together
I want our block to coordinate potlucks, tool swaps, and small events without a noisy group chat.
The spec what we're building
The problem
Our block has potlucks, borrowed ladders, extra garden starts, and little clean up days, but everything gets lost in a chat thread. We need a quiet place for plans, signups, and reminders.
What it should feel like
- Small and private. Built for one block, building, club, or parent group.
- No social feed. Just plans, signups, and what needs a volunteer.
- Useful sharing. Borrow a drill, offer extra chairs, or claim napkins for Saturday.
Screens
- Circle home — upcoming events and open needs.
- Event plan — RSVP, food/item signup, tasks, and notes.
- Borrow board — items people are happy to lend.
- Reminder settings — gentle nudges, never spam.
Acceptance criteria
- Create a private circle by invite link.
- Add an event with RSVP and bring/borrow signups.
- Members can claim an item or task in one tap.
- Reminders are opt-in and digest-friendly.
Out of scope
Public event discovery, payments, ads, and social posting.
Estimated budget
Event pages, RSVP flow, item signups, tool inventory, reminders, and privacy controls.
Budgets are estimates, not guaranteed costs. Funded does not mean finished.
Standard repo pattern vibeexchange/blockparty
Every funded listing is a normal private git repo. Two folders are the control plane sponsors collectively own:
Roadmap .roadmap/milestones.toml
- Private neighborhood circles shipped
- Potluck + item signups in progress
- Borrow board for tools planned
- Gentle reminders planned
Sponsor cap table funds = voting power

Governance .roadmap/governance.toml
Governed merges need a funding-weighted majority within the timeline — enforced via PR approval. Settings change only through the same process.
