“Been wanting to build a solid working mechanic/app for this since forever. Currently building a public data/media intelligence platform for India/world. Would love to work together/enable/support as possible,” said one netizen in the comments.
Meanwhile, some kept aside their sarcasm to mention their concerns seriously. While some mentioned the locations of dangerous potholes they had observed across the city, one netizen claimed that there should be an app to rate the services provided by governments.
