What is This Mini-App?

This Progressive Web App (PWA) and mini-app (e.g., browsers or Farcaster client) allows cities to create virtual districts where the public can interact in a way that's both informative and engaging. It’s designed to promote creative district outreach, facilitate survey data collection for Creative District Certification, and encourage participation from the community. Our first city partner is Minatare, Nebraska, where we are helping establish and administer a Creative District to revitalize their downtown, attract new residents, and foster economic development through the arts.

Features:

• Customizable via .env and image files: Easy customization for different cities and use cases.
• Community Engagement: Provides simple ways to connect businesses and events to the community, all in-map.
• Fundraising & Transparency: Streamline fundraising efforts and live-stream meetings directly on the map.
• Continual Development: Features are continually developed based on feedback to ensure equal access and value for public good.

How It Works

This app leverages interactive map data, making it easy for communities to build and explore creative districts. Users can collect survey data, interact with city events, and access fundraising campaigns in one seamless interface.

Main Features:

• Map Data: Publicly accessible data for city planning and development.
• Event and Business Info: Connect community businesses and events interactively on the map.
• Live Streaming: Meetings and events can be streamed live, providing instant updates to the community.
• Open-Source Development: Contributions are welcome! Learn from and build upon this tool to make the arts more accessible worldwide.
