## What is Lanlo?

Lanlo is your neighbourhood, live. A real-time, map-first community reporting app covering the entire Greater Toronto Area — neighbours report what's happening nearby right now, and everyone around them sees it live on one map, kept current by the community itself.

WHAT'S LIVE ON THE MAP

• Hazard — road hazards, downed trees, anything unsafe
• Event — pop-ups, markets, community gatherings
• Deal — local offers and promotions from nearby businesses
• Playground — condition, crowd level, and amenities
• Local Buzz — anything else worth knowing about your block

Four more layers fill in automatically, even before anyone's posted a thing: York Region and Toronto Police open safety data, and nearby restaurants and indoor playgrounds — including real-time open/closed status — pulled from open map data.

BUILT ON TRUST, NOT JUST POSTS

Every report can be confirmed or flagged by people nearby — one that gets clearly outvoted quietly disappears, no moderation queue, no waiting. Like a post to surface what's useful. Authors can pin the single most helpful comment to the top of the thread. Report and block tools keep the community clean.

REPORT IN SECONDS

Pick a category, add a title and an optional photo — snap it right in the app — and it's on the map instantly for everyone nearby. Playground and Event pins support a proximity-verified claim for points.

NEVER MISS WHAT'S NEARBY

Turn on notifications and get pinged whenever anyone posts ot just hazards — so you hear about a pop-up market or a new deal the moment your neighbours do.

• Pin a comment — post authors can now pin the most helpful comment to the top of the thread.

• Snap a photo in-app — take a picture straight from the report screen, no more switching to your camera app first.
• Notified for every nearby pin — not just hazards anymore: get notified when anyone posts near you, in any category.
