<p><strong>Rippl</strong> is a hyperlocal, family-friendly social platform designed to connect you with people and businesses within a 3km radius of your neighborhood. Unlike global social media platforms, Rippl focuses on local content, allowing you to discover hidden gems and build real connections with your neighbors.</p><h3>How Rippl Works</h3><p>Every post on Rippl originates from a location and ripples outward, visible to everyone within 3km. When someone finds your post useful and "ripples" it, it spreads to their neighborhood too, enhancing community value organically.</p><h3>Three Feeds, One Community</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Rippl Zone</strong> — Discover posts from everyone within 3km, including local news, recommendations, events, and conversations.</p></li><li><p><strong>Followings</strong> — Content from people and businesses you choose to follow.</p></li><li><p><strong>My Space</strong> — A private feed for sharing moments exclusively with friends and family.</p></li></ul><h3>Map View &amp; Pin Location</h3><p>See your neighborhood come alive on a map. Pin exact locations to posts, tag a restaurant you loved, or mark where a community event is happening. Posts appear as visual markers on the map, allowing neighbors to find places instantly and get directions.</p><h3>Family-Friendly by Design</h3><p>Rippl is built for the whole family, with AI reviewing every post to ensure a safe environment. All content is family-friendly by default.</p><h3>Local Businesses</h3><p>Discover restaurants, shops, and services near you. Local businesses can create pages on Rippl to share updates, offers, and announcements directly with their neighborhood customers.</p><h3>Key Features</h3><ul><li><p>Location-based feed within your 3km Rippl Zone</p></li><li><p>Pin exact locations to posts</p></li><li><p>Get directions to pinned locations directly from any post</p></li><li><p>Ripple posts to spread great content to new neighborhoods</p></li><li><p>Interactive map showing posts and pinned places near you</p></li><li><p>Family-friendly AI content moderation</p></li><li><p>Connect with friends, family, and neighbors</p></li><li><p>Follow local businesses and community members</p></li><li><p>Save posts for later</p></li><li><p>Real-time notifications for local activity</p></li><li><p>Privacy-first: only approximate location stored, never precise GPS</p></li></ul><p>Rippl is specifically designed for Indian communities, launching in Pune.
