Why we’re starting small

We’re starting with a small set of public local stories. Story suggestions may open later, after we have a review process in place to handle them with care.

Why we begin with public stories

We’re starting with stories that are already public — city announcements, school district news, and reported events — so anyone can verify the details for themselves and no neighbor is identified without consent. As we build a careful review process, we’ll stay cautious with anything involving children, immigration status, legal or medical situations, or details a stranger could misuse.
