What is Blockly?
A neighborhood rating website, where visitors can see user-submitted reviews of their neighborhood down to the block and explore opinions of areas they are interested in moving to.
Problem
Users rely on generic city guides or real estate platforms for neighborhood insights, which lack hyper-local, block-level details and authentic resident perspectives.
