# Lissiland — Martha's Vineyard Data APIs
# https://api.lissiland.com/llms.txt
# Last updated: 2026-09-24

> Lissiland is the Martha's Vineyard data layer for developers. UI can be generated anywhere; the hard part is reliable local information—events, ferry boats, and Vineyard Transit Authority (VTA) buses—delivered as commercial JSON APIs and calendar feeds.

## Positioning
- Pain point: scraping SSA boards, chasing event PDFs, guessing VTA schedules
- Promise: authenticated, maintained island data so products feel local
- Tagline: You can build the app in a weekend. You can't fake the Vineyard.
