Directories
Community vendor directory for groups & neighborhoods
The official list — pinned once, updated anytime.
Run the vendor directory your community actually uses. Mom groups, HOAs, churches, and city groups pin one link instead of moderating the same recommendation threads weekly.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.
- Same vendor question every week in the group feed
- Pinned posts get buried
- Admins can't moderate who appears on unofficial lists
- New members can't find historical recommendations
