Ruby on Rails PostGIS What3Words Stripe Payments
Landgrab splits up a plot of land into small (3 x 3m) squares and allows sponsoring each, in exchange for access to updates related to the plot.
Features
- Set up one or more ‘projects’ for different interests or explorations.
- Create ‘plots’ of land by defining an outline on a map.
- Automatically fetch individual 3x3m square ‘tiles’ of land within the plot (using What3Words).
- Publish rich ‘posts’ with updates related to specific projects, plots or tiles.
- Offer ‘sponsorships’ for tiles of the land (using Stripe payments).
- Ongoing subscription payments are collected automatically.
Use Cases
Landgrab already powers a real company - Mosaic Rewilding.
Potential uses for Landgrab are;
- Sponsoring/buying areas of land through crowdfunding.
- Visualising information and updates about a plot of land.
- Tracking the status of vegetation, infrastructure or land use on a plot.
