I am working on a social platform to facilitate meetups based on similar interests and experience. This would be perfect for travelers wanting to meet locals, students, communities & organizations, and anyone else looking to expand their social network.
The design phase is done and we are launching a fundraiser soon to help with the development of the app. If you're interested, sign up to the mailing list for exclusive promos and to stay updated: http://eepurl.com/gKz81H
I'm genuinely interested but there are a few meetup clones on github, & getting traffic to an app like this is a hard task even in the best of times. Right now seems like a particularly rough time for this. Do you have any insights on how to get people using your app?
Maybe all the events & meetups could be COVID safe?
Hey, great question. I've spent a lot of time looking through all those meetup clones, I know what you're talking about. For me, they were very barebones and no different from regular facebook searches.
Our platform personalizes your experience. Matching up with others will take into account your personal interests so you will get curated results. You will also be able to see relevant events, rather than having to sift through hundreds of events. A curated feed means you might find something you haven't considered before. All in all, the aim is for a tailored experience.
Once the situation resolves, I think people will want to socialize more than ever, since we realize how different things can be without steady real-life social networks.
We already have several groups committed to using our platform for group coordination once we launch, and pre-existing groups will help gain traffic quickly. Definitely subscribe to our mailing list, as we plan to offer beta access and other perks. Thanks for your support!
