Back in Jan 2024, I was stuck at a bus stop and asked this sub if Madurai had a transit app. When I realized there wasn't one, I built it myself and shared the first version with you all late last year - Announcement Post.

Fast forward to today, the platform has grown to help 1,650+ monthly commuters. To get the stops data as accurate as possible, we cross-checked 798 Google Maps POIs and 108 OpenStreetMap nodes, plus 84+ GPS stops submitted directly by local riders.

Many of you asked for a mobile version, so today I’m excited to launch the official Android & Wear OS (Smartwatch) App! 🎉

>🌟 What the app brings:
📴 100% Offline: Instant bus numbers and connecting routes without internet.
⌚ Wear OS Alarm: Your watch vibrates up to 3 stops before your destination so you never miss it.
🗣️ Tamil & English voice stop announcements.
🆓 100% Free & No Ads

>🔗 Try it out:
📱 Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.maduraione.citybus
🌐 Web: https://citybus.maduraiguide.in (https://maduraione.in/)

Thank you to everyone who has used the site so far. Feedback and missing route suggestions for the new app are warmly welcome in the comments! 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m not a lawyer myself—just a techie who stumbled onto how the Madras High Court currently displays its cause lists and live boards. Honestly, I couldn't believe you all have to constantly refresh PDFs or a clunky website just to figure out when a case is going to be heard.

So, as a weekend project, I built MHC Court Pulse (https://mhclive.nammamap.in/) to modernize the experience.

Here is what it does:

• Live Board: Shows exactly which case is being heard in each court, updating automatically every 2 minutes. No refreshing needed.
• Instant Search: Search the entire day's cause list instantly by case number or party name (for both Madras and Madurai benches).
• Push Notifications: You can tap the "bell" icon on any case. The app will send you a browser notification when your case is about 5 items away from being called.
• Order History: Tap any case to instantly pull up its previous daily orders with direct PDF links.

The tool is completely free, mobile-friendly, and has no ads.

Since I'm not in the legal field, I'd love to know if this actually solves a pain point for practicing lawyers or litigants here. Let me know if there's any data you wish it displayed differently!

​

Over 40 section offices across 20 districts have planned maintenance scheduled for today. That means a huge portion of Tamil Nadu will be coping with the heat during an all-day power cut. 🥵

If we take the unannounced intermittent powercuts into consideration, the number will be higher than this. Look at the attached image — nearly the entire map is lit up with disruptions.

With the recent reports of an impending El Niño bringing even higher temperatures and drought conditions, our grid is going to face massive strain. Relying heavily on hydroelectric power means that when water levels drop, power cuts are bound to become more frequent. Honestly, investing in solar energy right now feels like the smartest move we can make

Vanakkam! 🚀 I'm excited to announce the launch of NammaMap V2.0 👉🏼 https://nammamap.in/

Ever wondered exactly which TNEB section office you belong to? Or which specific police station covers your street? In Tamil Nadu, civic services work on boundaries, but finding those boundaries on a standard map has always been a challenge.

NammaMap is built to solve this. It’s a unified, privacy-first portal designed to help every resident of Tamil Nadu find the services that matter to them, instantly.

📍 What can you find?

Utilities: Your exact TNEB Section Office and Pincode/Post Office boundaries.

Civic Boundaries: Police Jurisdictions, Registration Offices (SRO), and Local Body limits (Corporations to Village Panchayats).

Essentials: Specific Ration Shops (PDS) and comprehensive Health Facilities.

Rural Support: Veterinary Hospitals and Dispensaries.

Governance: Assembly and Parliamentary Constituencies.

Land: A robust Survey Number finder for your land parcels.

🔒 Privacy by Design: We believe your location is your business. NammaMap doesn't collect personal data, doesn't show ads, and doesn't store your GPS history. It’s a clean, fast, and secure tool built for the public.

🤖 Meet N-Bot: Our friendly mascot is here to guide you through the map and make finding information easier than ever.

This is an independent, non-commercial research project dedicated to making public data work for the public.

Explore the map today: nammamap.in

I’d love for you to try it out and share it with someone who might find it useful! 🗺️✨

Vanakkam 🙏 NammaMap V2 is now live 👉 https://nammamap.in

About 2 weeks ago, I shared a simple prototype of NammaMap with just TNEB data (Original Post)

From the feedback + that exploration, one clear problem stood out:

>We don’t know which authority actually covers our area.

So the core idea became:

Tap anywhere → see who covers that area
(police station, ration shop, local body, etc.)

Not a contact directory — just a clear
“who covers my area?” view

That shift is what led me to rebuild the project from the ground up.

👉 https://nammamap.in

What’s new:

👮 Police Jurisdiction Mapping
🏥 1000+ Health Facilities
🍚 PDS / Ration Shops
📍 Full Pincode Boundaries
🏛️ Local Bodies & Constituencies

Would love quick feedback: Useful or not? Anything confusing?
