Get to know Newport
The practical stuff — trash day, town hall, schools — plus the town’s story and where to go. Kept current by neighbors.
Fix a detail, add a fact, or just confirm something’s still right. A change goes live once two neighbors confirm it — and you earn karma for keeping the guide fresh.
Add a fact and it’s pending until two neighbors confirm it (or one Steward) — then it goes live and you earn the points. Confirming earns +1 right away, and you can’t confirm your own. Explainers are one neighbor’s take, so they post right away. A fact’s stamp turns from green to amber as it ages, nudging a re-check.
