- a marketplace-like engine for finding hApp modules and social data types (and contributing to their development costs)
- a neighbourhood community management tool and lounge for community activators
The NH framework enables a very wide range of use cases, depending on the hApp modules that developers contribute to the NH marketplace.

Prospective community activators have opened public conversations on using neighbourhoods for cases and group sizes when reputation accrual and accounting is critical, for example: developer communities, philanthropic communities, energy and carbon accounting projects, and gaming groups.
The team also created a demo "meme sharing" neighbourhood to show how the framework applies to (social) media use cases,
