Hey Product Hunt! I'm Gary, solo founder from Toronto. I built Alertly because I was tired of finding out about incidents in my neighbourhood 3 days late on the news. The app pulls real-time data from official sources (Toronto Police, Toronto Fire) and lets community members report what's happening around them — all on a live map. It's 100% free. No ads. Built for Canadians who want to stay informed, not scared. Would love your feedback — what would make this useful in YOUR city?

Solo founder building a community safety app — AMA

Been working on this for the past year. Built the backend in Go, frontend in React Native. Happy to answer anything about the tech, the market, or the mistakes.
