Description

Permeso comes from Esperanto/Spanish/Italian combined, means permission, and I think this is a good name!

Eventually this is a parser, but in fact this is a whole Platform, or someone calls it a portal where you can manage your subscription and get the latest data from the selected councils
(because why would you need data from all of them?).

What applications?

Well, it depends, but if you don't know - UK Councils have separate platform where you can put application and it will be reviewed by someone.
This application contains Proposal (what you want to do, this could be renovation, extension or even tree surgery) and your address(you might get already where it goes)

Why?

Small Agencies/Companies always need some clients, but because they small, or even medium - they not very popular, which make an loop for them, as referal system not working as it could.
So, they would be ending up with something like a Website, Social Media advertisement, and banners in local area.
And this might be good source of new clients, therefore you might want to get even more potential clients!

Here comes the planning applications, all of these people will need someone like this agency to build or fix their stuff, potentially they know someone and will work with them, but you always will have a chance to make business with them.

What this agencies do with planning applications?

It depends on agency, but mostly they will cold mail a letter with content like:
Hey! We're XYZ company based near your ABCD1234 property and can help with doing X thing!
Which is a spam for those people in most cases, but even 1 sucessfull contact out of 20 applications is already amazing, because you already have 1 potential client(as this client likely still waiting for application decision) that might come back to you later or even recommend your XYZ company to a friend.

How?

Tech Stack

• NextJS as frontend framework

• FastAPI as a backend framework

• MongoDB as a main database

• PostgreSQL for Umami analytics

• Stripe for payments

• Firebase/auth for authorization

• Linux-based VPS for hosting a backend (Includes CI/CD) - Umami.is for analytics

• Vercel for Front-end, Umami Instance and PostgreSQL hosting

• Shadcn/ui as a components library for the NextJS

• Cloudflare for SSL and protection

• Docker for virtualization and rapid deployments

Real-time deployment

Unlikely you will be able to experience all features of the platform without subscription, so you can watch this video

Slighly update version:

• Production: offline.permeso.ihorsavenko.com

What's next?

• A while after a fork of Permeso became a Planning portal that does exactly the same things but built for organisations that will be selling this data to the agencies.
• Also Permeso-portal are now open source, so you can check it out on GitHub
• Stage and Production version will be merged into one (stage will be main) and will be separated from backend to demonstrate how it works and used as a demo for potential clients.
