Isle of Thanet · photographed where you actually live

What's on the seawall.

The useful board for Margate, Ramsgate, Broadstairs, Westgate and Birchington. Lost cats, this weekend, a washer by the harbour, the boiler bloke who turned up. Visitors can look. CT7–CT12 get to pin.

A cat goes missing

One post, every town that can walk there. Not six groups and a prayer.

Friday at four

What's on this weekend without a dead council PDF.

Who do you use?

The sentence that actually runs this island.

Collection only

Sofas stay in CT11. Couriers from Leeds can jog on.

The wall

Everything pinned up.

Same board the towns share. Filter it so Ramsgate doesn't have to read about a cat in Westgate unless it wants to.

Marketplace

Buy, sell, swap. Collection not courier from Leeds.

Local only. No “is this still available” from a stranger in another county. Price optional. Scams get pulled.

What's on

The weekend, without six Facebook events and a dead PDF.

Gigs, markets, harbour walks, things in rooms. Add yours if you're putting it on.

Who do you use?

The most useful sentence in Thanet.

Recommend the person who turned up. Warn about the one who took a deposit and became folklore. That's the product.

Local businesses, featured ones first.

Free listing at the bottom. Paid slot at the top. No algorithm pretending a London chain is your neighbour.

Pin it up

Post to the wall.

Needs a Thanet postcode so the board stays resident-first. What you pin is saved for everyone, not just this browser.

Money, without being vile

How Seawall pays for itself.

Residents don't subscribe. Local businesses already waste cash boosting Facebook posts into the void. This is a calmer hole for that money.

£0

Resident posts. Always.

£0

Free directory listing (no Featured badge).

£25/mo

Featured slot via Stripe Checkout (test mode).

Later, if it actually gets used

Promoted weekend posts (~£15), a Friday email sponsorship, optional marketplace pins. No stealth ads. No selling the list to a lead-gen ghoul in Medway.

Business name

Town

A noticeboard, not a personality cult.

Thanet already talks on Facebook. Seawall is for the useful residue: what's on, who to call, what's for sale, what went missing. Built to launch on a cheap UK host and grow only if people actually use it.

How the board is stored

Posts, events and listings live in a shared database, so a pin in Margate shows up in Ramsgate. Export downloads a JSON copy of what you're looking at. Reload fetches the board again. It does not wipe anyone else's posts.
