Lissiland

You can build the app in a weekend. You can’t fake the Vineyard.

UI tools are everywhere. The pain is the data layer—events, ferry boats, and the VTA—kept live so you don’t scrape.

The pain

Anyone can ship screens. Few can ship island truth.

Developers don’t need another framework pitch. They need Martha’s Vineyard information that doesn’t rot the week after launch.

  • Stop scraping ferry boards and praying the HTML doesn’t change.
  • Stop hand-updating event calendars from Facebook and PDFs.
  • Stop guessing VTA routes when a visitor just wants the next bus.

The data layer
