A community board that actually works
Think of Laivu as your neighborhood's living notice board — except it knows exactly where you are, filters out the junk automatically, and shows you what's relevant within meters of your front door.
Whether you're hosting a community clean-up, offering tutoring, or warning about a flooded road, Laivu makes sure the right people see it. Our AI ranks every post for quality so the best content always rises to the top.
Post it. Pin it. Done.

Common questions
Do I need an account to browse posts?
No. Anyone can explore the map, search posts, and view content without signing up. An account is only needed if you want to post or build a personalized feed.
How does the AI ranking work?
Every post is analyzed for quality and spam likelihood. High-quality, relevant posts are boosted in feeds — and low-quality ones are quietly filtered out, keeping the community clean without any effort from you.
Can I edit or extend my post after publishing?
Yes, anytime from your dashboard. And if your post is about to expire, a one-tap extension keeps it live for another week.
