Elara
Local news and events, right on the map, no login needed
Elara puts local news and events directly on a map of your city, no login required. Every story is pinned to where it actually happened, so you see what's near you at a glance instead of scrolling a feed. Use near me to recenter instantly, filter by topic, switch between Bangalore and 6 other Indian cities, and earn points as you explore. Built for knowing your city, not scrolling past it.
I built this because I wanted one place to see the actual news happening in my own city, not a stale feed, a live map. Elara pulls real local news coverage and pins every story to exactly where it happened.
Open it and you might see: - News that a founder near you just raised funding - A crime report covered near your neighborhood - Traffic diversions or road closures reported today - Civic news like a project approved, a pothole fix, a council decision
No login, no sign-up wall, just open the app and you're on a live map of your city. Use "near me" to recenter instantly, filter by topic (crime, traffic, business, civic), and switch between Bangalore and 6 other Indian cities.
I built this to actually know what's happening around me in real time, not scroll past outdated posts. Would love to hear what you think, what's missing, what you'd want covered next. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
