Thoughts
Short, local, anonymous. A random display name and avatar stay with you across a single post and its replies — so you have an identity inside a conversation without carrying a permanent one. Text only, 310 characters, distance-aware feed.
Hyperlocal, for places the others never served
A local feed that actually feels local.
DAAP is a hyperlocal community platform for Nigeria. Anonymous local thoughts, verified businesses, communities, and job listings — starting in Minna, expanding across Niger State and Abuja.
See DAAP in action.
A short walkthrough of the prototype — the local feed, verified profiles, and how Thoughts feel inside the app.
Four things in one app.
Each one solves a real, daily problem. None of them try to do everything.
Businesses
Verified local businesses with full social links — WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, email, phone. DAAP doesn't trap you; it surfaces businesses and hands you off to where they already are.
Communities
Verified groups forming around shared interests or locations. Same verification process as businesses — manual review against meta and social links — so the badge means something.
Jobs
Only verified businesses can post. Every listing is from a real entity — a genuine alternative to anonymous WhatsApp job spam. Apply via email, link, or an in-line Google Form.
How the feed works.
Hyperlocal apps die in low-density areas because the feed is empty. DAAP solves that by expanding outward when the local well runs dry.
-
1. Start local
Posts from your immediate area — your neighbourhood, your campus, your street.
-
2. Expand outward
Tunga → Minna → Niger State → Abuja → beyond, using a geohash-prefix radius — so the feed is never empty.
-
3. Stay close
Closer posts rank higher. You see your city first, the world only when you ask for it.
The team behind DAAP.
DAAP is built by someone who lives the problem. Yik Yak, Jodel and Nextdoor never reached here — and even where they did, the same patterns kept failing: bloat, anonymity without accountability, no real moderation, dead feeds in low-density areas. DAAP is the answer to those failures, designed for the places hyperlocal apps actually need to work.
