Local Pulse
Customer: NOW! Know before you go
Merchant: NOW! Every business can advertise
Both slogans start with NOW! — the entire product promise in one word: real-time, local, actionable.
The Problem
Google Maps says open. You arrive. It's closed. Local Pulse is the last checkpoint before you leave — merchants broadcast their live status, the community verifies it.
Three Status States
Open - Operating normally
Sold Out - Open but can't serve — tickets gone, food finished, fully booked
Closed - Not operating today
Plus auto-computed: Conflict (community contradicts merchant), Stale (no update >24h).
Customer Features
NOW tab — Mapbox map + distance-sorted nearby business list. Check before you go.
Pulse tab — Live broadcast feed from every merchant in your current area. No following required.
Following tab — Saved merchants with automatic push alerts on every status change.
Check-in — GPS-verified reports (must be within 100m). Four types: Open / Closed / Sold Out / Leave a Note.
Poke — Ask a merchant if they're open. 3+ pokes in 30 min triggers one notification to the merchant.
Go-out reminders — Lunch/dinner push at 11:30 & 17:30 showing open businesses near home or work.
Merchant Features
Dashboard — 2-tap status toggle (Open / Sold Out / Closed). No complexity.
Promo broadcast — Send a live update to every user in the zone via the Pulse feed. No followers needed, no ad spend — this is Every business can advertise.
Conflict override — If community reports contradict your status, one tap confirms "I am open" and notifies the reporters.
Poke alerts — Get notified when customers are trying to reach you.
Insights — Daily views, check-in breakdown, promo engagement.
Claim & verify — List your business via on-site check, phone OTP, or document review. Community-verified badge unlocked at 10+ check-ins.
