Independent
NahantNet exists to serve people connected to Nahant. Its product decisions are not driven by advertising inventory or attention metrics.
About NahantNet
Local by design. Open by principle.
NahantNet is independent civic infrastructure: a practical, trusted digital home shaped around one extraordinary town.
Useful before addictive
The goal is to help someone find what they need, take part and get on with their day.
Accountable participation
Contributions are attributable, community standards are enforced and moderation decisions have a documented process.
Privacy by default
We collect only what a feature needs and avoid exposing personal contact or location information unnecessarily.
Built in public
The roadmap, policies and major product changes will be explained to the community.
The roadmap
Start useful. Earn trust. Grow carefully.
Phase 1 Nahant Channels, public information, events, directory, lost and found, submissions and moderation.
Phase 2 NahantNet e-mail service, notifications, groups and deeper contribution tools.
Later History archive, webcams and carefully evaluated community alerts.
