UMass Boston students looking for quick input from Waltham residents
Hi — I’m a UMass Boston student working on a small capstone project called CivicNow.
This is not a full product or competitor to existing sites — it’s an early prototype built for a class to explore how people find local government info.
Right now it only includes a few Massachusetts municipalities (like Waltham) and is intentionally simple.
I’m mainly looking for usability feedback — what’s confusing, what’s missing, what you’d expect to see, etc.
Website: https://civicnowma.org/
Survey: https://forms.gle/fkxJvte3EEZjnpJw8
Note: The survey asks for an email only to prevent spam/duplicate responses. There’s no sign-in required, and emails aren’t used for anything beyond that.
If you’re not comfortable with that, I completely understand — even quick feedback in the comments is really helpful.
Appreciate any thoughts!
