1. What are we building? A reddit like portal where users upload experiences in cities. These experiences are categorized into: Food, Night, Sights and Nature. Users can upvote/downvote experiences.
2. Who are we building it for? This app is being built to digitize communities of people who live in the same cities ("Locals") so that they can share with other "Locals" cool experiences in their own cities. The other community that benefits from this app is the community of world travellers. They benefit by being able to see experiences in cities posted by locals and other people and thus experiencing cities somewhat like locals.
