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
