EventCarpooling.com — a fully vibe-coded side project, now live.

The pitch: EventCarpooling solves the last-mile social problem — the gap between wanting to participate in your community and actually getting there. We pair a personalized local events newsletter with trusted rideshare matching, connecting you with neighbors already making the same trip. Less Uber, more neighbor.

Why this wins:

• Event discovery is crowded. Ridesharing is commoditized. Nobody owns the intersection of trusted community and shared destination
• Runs on human generosity, not surge pricing
• The AI-curated newsletter gets you in the door; the trusted network gets you there

Underserved markets hiding in plain sight:

• Parents coordinating kids’ rides
• Adult children managing weekly trips for aging parents
• Anyone priced out of or exhausted by gig rideshare

The bigger case: Carpooling and in-person gatherings measurably boost happiness and purpose — especially for younger generations anchored to screens. Showing up is the product.
