The Challenge

Solving the disconnection between digital social feeds and the physical world by creating a low-latency, scalable system for geographic content discovery.

The Solution

Engineered a Next.js platform that treats geography as a first-class citizen. Developed a custom state machine for map interactions and a flexible relational schema to anchor social graphs to real-world coordinates.

What It Does

Commune bridges the gap between digital social networks and physical geography. It allows users to create autonomous map tags, link rich media content to specific coordinates, and engage in WhatsApp-style workspace rooms tailored for local communities.

How It Works

Built on Next.js 14 using Zustand for atomic state management and Leaflet for geospatial visualization. It employs a 1:N relational architecture where map locations aggregate community posts, all powered by Supabase for media and PostgreSQL for complex spatial queries.
