Commonplace is a lightweight community space reservation app, designed to help neighborhoods, churches, co-ops, or local collectives manage shared physical spaces like meeting rooms, event halls, studios, or anything else that gets booked and used.
- Frontend: Next.js with TailwindCSS
- Backend: Laravel serving a JSON API
- Database: MySQL (or SQLite locally) with seed data for spaces
- Server: NGINX + PHP-FPM + Node.js (deployed on a single VPS)

This is very much a work-in-progress.
If you’ve got ideas for where this could go or just want to chat about neighborhood tools and local-first tech, open an issue or hit me up.
