Description
After finishing #15 on Product Hunt in May, we built the official BeenThere iOS app from scratch! Most travel apps tell you where to go, but never how safe the neighborhood is. BeenThere brings real peace of mind: • Street-level Community Safety Index • Real-time in-app safety alerts as you explore • Dedicated ratings for solo & female travelers • Honest highlights, lowlights & scam precautions • Peaked at #33 in Travel on App Store in 24 hours! Free on iOS. Know before you go. Stay Safer.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an iOS mobile app with maps and reporting is straightforward, but maintaining a legitimate street-level community safety index requires extensive location-based crime data ingestion or a massive active user base.
What it would actually take: Requires a mobile stack (Swift/React Native) backed by a geospatial database (PostGIS on PostgreSQL). The primary obstacle is the data pipeline: aggregating, geocoding, and normalizing municipal open crime data, police feeds, and user incident reports into an accurate, continuously updated street-level safety score.
