diw-greensboro
It's called Do It With Greensboro and it's a way for citizens to find out information on contractors. You can search for contractors, rate them, share project photos and see decades worth of permits they applied for.
The DIW Greensboro project combines Building Inspection Permits datasets from Greensboro Open Data with data visualization tools from OpenDataSoft, to provide an online community powered by Concursive's Open City Platform.
The demo site was built in 2 days at Code for Greensboro • Civicon 2015 and the effort received 3rd place. The finished demo is available at https://greensboro.onconcursive.com
Thanks to everyone involved who made this a fun and challenging event!
