Somebody in your community already knows a good electrician.
You just haven’t been told yet. This is where they write it down — so next time, nobody has to ask.
Free for residents · Your number is never shown to neighbors.
1. Somebody asks. Same as always.
“Anyone know a good electrician?” — posted in the group, or posted here. Nothing new to learn; it’s the question your community already asks every few weeks.
2. The answers stop disappearing.
Every reply is filed against the business itself, not buried in the day’s messages — so the answer is still there in November, and still there for the family that moves in next year.
3. By month three, nobody has to ask.
Forty names your neighbors actually use — electrician, math tutor, the man who fixes the lift — searchable, and every one of them put there by someone who lives where you live.
What you actually get out of it
- Stop asking the group the same question every month.
- The name is already there, with a neighbor’s name on it.
- Only people who live here can add to it.
- New residents inherit years of local knowledge on day one.
- Free for residents. Your number is never shown to neighbors.
Why a name here is worth more than four hundred reviews
A review site gives you a score out of five from strangers. This gives you a sentence: how many of your own neighbors use them, and which ones. You can ask them in the lift.
This sentence is the product. The stars are the footnote.
About ninety seconds
Your name, an email to sign in with, a password, and the 8-character code from your group. Your home address too — only your committee’s admin ever sees it, and it’s how they tick you off as actually living here.
Your email signs you in and neighbors never see it. Your name does show on anything you recommend — that’s the entire point of it. Your mobile number is used once, to text you a code that confirms it is yours. That is the only text we ever send you, and neighbors never see the number.
Your street is not the only street that knows
This is the one thing a group chat can never do for you, and not because nobody has built it. A WhatsApp or Facebook group is a closed list of members with no shared index — there is no mechanism by which your group could learn what the group two streets over already knows, however much both of you would like it to.
Here, the good electrician four streets away is not a stranger. If six nearby communities have backed the same plumber, the row says so — so a name that is new to your street is not new to the neighborhood, and the tenth community to join inherits what the first nine worked out.
What you never see is which communities they are. A count, and never a name — your neighbors’ reviews stay inside your community and theirs stay inside theirs. What crosses the boundary is a number, because a number cannot tell anybody who lives where.
This is not another chat app
Keep your group. It is where your community talks, and nothing here replaces that. A chat is addressed to a moment — everyone who is looking, right now. What your community keeps losing is the other thing: the answer, addressed to whoever needs it next month.
In the groupGreat for talking. Everything arrives at once and leaves at once.
HereMade for finding. One search box, answers filed under the business itself.
In the groupMarch’s answer is four thousand messages up. Nobody scrolls back, so the question gets asked again.
HereAsked once. The answer is still there in a year, for whoever needs it next.
In the groupThe family who moved in last month starts from nothing.
HereThey arrive to everything the street has already worked out.
In the groupSixty messages to organize one gutter clean, and three people drop out unnoticed.
HereA count everyone can see: six of eight homes in, two to go.
In the groupAnybody can be added by anybody. Half the numbers have no name.
HereEvery member approved by a neighbor on your board, writing under their real name.
And nothing here buzzes. There is no chat to keep up with, nothing to mute, no unread count following you around — the app cannot message you at all. You open it the day you need a roofer, find the name in seconds, and close it again. That is the whole relationship, and it is the point.
What else is in there
The list is the reason people join. These are the reasons they come back.
Group deals
Get the same job done together, and pay less for it
Most of what a gutter crew charges is getting to your street. Eight houses on one morning costs them one trip instead of eight, and they price it that way. So a neighbor puts the job up with what the crew quoted, the street fills the slots, and everyone books at the lower rate on the same day.
Niborz never takes payment. You arrange and pay the vendor directly — the price shown is what a neighbor was quoted, not an offer from us.
The vault
The documents and numbers you only need at the worst moment
Your governing documents, meeting minutes, forms and notices, kept in one place your committee controls. Alongside them, the numbers worth having before you need them — management office, after-hours maintenance, the water shut-off — as buttons that dial.
Only members of your community can open any of it. Your committee decides what goes in.
MarketplaceComing next
Buying, selling and renting, between people you can place
The sofa, the bike, the spare room. The same thing that makes a recommendation worth reading makes a listing worth answering: the person on the other end is a verified neighbor with a name, not an anonymous account meeting you in a car park.
Two things people ask before they tap
“Do I have to install something?”
No. It’s a web link. If you end up using it, add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app.
“What’s it called, again?”
Niborz — N-I-B-O-R-Z. You never have to search for it: scan the poster, or open the link from your group.
Your community’s list is one code away.
Somebody in your group has already posted it.
