Overview

Explore your city like never before

Localhey is a hyperlocal discovery platform that brings everything worth knowing about your city into a single app. From hidden-gem cafes and local restaurants to businesses, cultural events and trending spots — Localhey helps people explore and experience their city with a truly local lens.

I built the Localhey mobile app from scratch in Flutter, delivering a fast, location-aware experience on Android with Provider for state management and Firebase powering the backend, authentication and real-time data.

The Challenge & Goals

The Challenge

Local discovery is fragmented. People jump between Google Maps for places, Instagram for trending spots, Zomato for food, and event apps for things to do — with no single platform that captures the full richness of local life. The goal was to unify all of this into one truly local experience.

The Goals

  • One app for places, food, events & businesses
  • Trending & culture content surfaced locally
  • Location-aware, personalised discovery
  • Fast, smooth experience at city scale
  • Simple onboarding for everyday explorers

Tech & Architecture

How it's built

Localhey is built in Flutter for a smooth, native-quality experience on Android. Provider handles state management cleanly across features, while Firebase powers authentication, the real-time database, and push notifications. Location services drive the hyperlocal feed, surfacing content and businesses relevant to the user's city and neighbourhood.
