Why do we have to trade our identity just to talk to our neighbours?

I've been quietly building neighOWL to solve a simple problem: I wanted to know what was happening in my own neighbourhood (alerts, events, lost pets) without signing up for yet another social network that tracks my data.

We are launching today. It's completely anonymous, has zero accounts, and uses a ~1km zone code instead of your exact GPS.

For the builders here: What's your biggest concern with current hyperlocal apps like Nextdoor? Would love your thoughts before we go live!
