Navigation / City walking progress
Block by Block
A privacy-first walking map that lets residents mark every block they have walked in one city, with progress views that feel more like a collection than a fitness dashboard.

Build hypothesis
WalkNYC shows demand for a block-completion loop while leaving room for a calmer, city-specific product with no account, ads, or social feed.
Build notes
- Start with one city and a visible block-completion map
- Keep background tracking optional and explain storage clearly
- Use weekly recaps and neighborhood milestones for retention

Prototype in 7 days; launch one city first.
Audience
City residents, walkers, local explorers
Build scope hypothesis
Solo-friendly when the first release supports one city, manual location permission, and a simple walked-block map.
US market framing
US city niche; begin with one dense, walkable market and validate retention before adding cities.
