The project
Megalopolist is a mobile platform for finding local services and sharing honest reviews. It was built as an alternative to review sites where ratings can be bought or manipulated. Businesses get structured listings by category, such as restaurants, shopping and automotive, with details and contact information. Users choose a user or business role at sign-up, then post their own experiences, follow other people and save favourites. Visibility comes from genuine posts and listings rather than paid promotion, so service seekers and providers meet on fair terms.
The challenge
- Ratings and reviews on many platforms were biased or manipulated.
- Review moderation was opaque, and users found it hard to share genuine experiences.
- Service providers gained visibility mainly through paid promotion.
What we built
- A review system designed around honest feedback rather than star-rating manipulation.
- Structured business listings organized by service category.
- Community posts where users share real experiences beyond a rating.
- Separate user and business roles with fair visibility for every provider.
