Problem and solution
The problem
Homebuyers judge a neighbourhood from brochures, brokers and scattered reviews. In apartment societies, visitor parking runs on paper logbooks, so guards can’t tell who is allowed in or which guest slot is free.
The solution
NexHood gathers neighbourhood data into one profile with a NexScore and side-by-side comparison, and replaces the parking logbook with time-bound QR passes that residents issue and guards scan at the gate. Scores use seeded sample data today, while nearby places and air quality are fetched live.

Under the hood
Role-guarded API
Only residents and admins can issue passes and only guards and admins can verify them, enforced by middleware on each route.
QR scanning in the browser
The guard view reads the camera stream with jsQR, which loads only when the scanner opens.
Slots that free themselves
Every parking request sweeps expired passes before reading slot state, so a guest who overstays never holds a slot for good.
Live data where it counts
Nearby amenities and properties come from Google Places and air quality from OpenAQ, layered over the seeded neighbourhood scores.
