PROJECT OVERVIEW

HOA Maxing is a multi-tenant web application designed to help HOA managers run private residential communities. In addition to structured communication, events, resources, and billing, the platform introduces an interactive 3D community map that acts as a shared visual layer for real-world activity inside a neighborhood.

PROBLEM

Most HOAs rely on fragmented tools such as social groups with weak moderation, email chains with no structure, and documents scattered across drives. These tools lack verification, accountability, and any spatial context for real-world issues happening inside the community.

CORE GOALS

  • Multi-HOA platform with strict data isolation
  • Manager-controlled communities with verified residents
  • Spatial awareness through a shared interactive community map
  • Scales from small neighborhoods to large multi-community rollouts
  • Predictable billing model ($5/house/month)
  • Auditability and future compliance readiness

ROLES AND ACCESS (RBAC)

  • Platform Admin, HOA Manager, Moderator, Resident
  • Community-scoped permissions and feature-level controls
  • Enforced consistently across API layer, database queries, and UI rendering

COMMUNITY LIFECYCLE

  • Manager creates HOA (name, zip, house count, amenities, rules, billing profile)
  • Stripe subscription per HOA with proration and grace period handling
  • Failure states: invite generation disabled, posting disabled, read-only fallback, data preserved

INVITE AND ONBOARDING

  • One-time tokenized invite links scoped to a community, with optional expiration and role preassignment
  • Signup via email/password with OAuth options (Google, Facebook)
  • Address-based verification using house number and street name; multiple residents per home supported

COMMUNICATION

  • Community feed supporting posts, media, polls, link previews, comments, and reactions
  • Anonymous posting with moderator visibility and auditability
  • Moderation tools for deletion, locking, muting, and role enforcement

INTERACTIVE 3D COMMUNITY MAP

  • Live-rendered 3D map representing the physical layout of the community
  • Visual markers for events, hazards, lost items, construction, sales, and notices
  • Time-based and permission-based visibility of map markers
  • Acts as a spatial index for community activity rather than a traditional list view

EVENTS AND RESOURCES

  • Events system for board meetings, community events, RSVPs, reminders, and visibility rules
  • Centralized resources hub for handbooks, bylaws, forms, announcements, and trusted vendors

SEARCH, ANALYTICS, AUDIT LOGS

  • Full-text search across posts, comments, events, and resources with community-level permission filtering
  • Manager dashboard with simple, actionable analytics (active users, engagement, attendance)
  • Immutable audit logs for sensitive actions such as role changes, deletions, billing updates, and invites
