Hey Product Hunt 👋 — I'm Kip, founder of NYC StreetCleaning. I built this after collecting four ASP tickets in a single year. Every existing "NYC parking" app either crashed, asked for $9.99 a month, or buried the answer behind three taps and a paywall. I just wanted a green light or a red light — "do I need to move my car right now, or not." So that's the whole app. One screen. One color. A few things that took longer than expected and might be interesting to other makers here: • Block-level precision. The city's open data gives you sign locations as raw geometry — no "this side of the street between X and Y." We had to merge ~340k sign records, snap them to block faces, and build a parser that understands phrases like "TUES THURS 11:30AM-1PM EXCEPT SUN" plus the broom glyph. Worth it — every other ASP app gets this wrong on dual-schedule blocks. • Suspension-aware "you're safe." NYC issues 30+ suspension days a year (religious holidays, snow, mayoral orders). Telling someone they're safe when there's a fresh snow suspension you missed is the worst-possible bug, so we re-check the official feed every 15 minutes before showing green. • Push that doesn't suck. Night-before + morning-of, snoozable, and silent on suspension days. No "engagement" pings. It's free forever — funded by a single banner that's hidden when the status card is visible (we never block the answer). iOS only for now. Android is on the roadmap if there's demand — if you're on Android and would use this, drop a comment below and I'll send you a TestFlight-style beta when it lands. Question for you: if you've ever used a hyperlocal city utility app (parking, transit, bins, alternate routes), what's the one thing the makers got wrong? I'd love to not repeat it. 🙏 — Kip
