A few days ago, I wasn't sure if anyone would even use Nearby.

Today, seeing people call it a great concept, ask how to download it, offer feedback, and encourage me to keep building genuinely means a lot ❤️

As a 14-year-old student from Mangalore, this project started as an idea to help people stay updated with local news, rain alerts, traffic updates, food spots, and community happenings around them.

I'm still learning, still improving, and still building every day 🚀

Thank you to everyone who tested the app, shared feedback, commented, and supported Nearby along the way. Your encouragement motivates me to keep making it better.

More updates coming soon ❤️🙏
