## What is Hot Spots?

Hot Spots shows you both — where the people in your life actually spend their time, and who else keeps turning up at the places you love. The friend you keep missing by an hour. The regular at your coffee shop who shares three of your friends. 

Discover a new kind of social network built to connect the real world based on the physical places you already frequent. No abstract feeds, no doom-scrolling—just real places and real people.

WHO ELSE COMES HERE
Open any physical place profile. See active members and live check-ins. View mutual friend counts instantly. Connect with regulars who share your exact taste.

WHERE YOUR FRIENDS GO
Profiles built on real places, not fake posts. See the spots your circle returns to every week. Discover where friends spend their weekends. Find new local gems through people you trust.

BE THERE AT THE SAME TIME
Check in instantly when you arrive at a venue. Tag a friend to come along in one tap. Set a live countdown timer. Let nearby friends find you before you leave.

MEETUPS PEOPLE ACTUALLY SHOW UP TO
Plan real-life get-togethers smoothly. Browse active social gatherings near you. Access built-in, event-specific group chats. Track real-time live RSVP updates.

EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD
Hot Spots includes almost every physical location on the planet. From iconic city landmarks to your favorite underground neighborhood spots. Follow any location anywhere globally to instantly see the life happening there. Tap into the pulse of any city, campus, or venue the exact moment you arrive.

FOR THE PLACES THEMSELVES
Every venue claims its own community page. Post updates and announce upcoming events. Run exclusive local offers for your members. Reach your verified physical customers directly.

YOUR PRIVACY, YOUR CALL
Complete control over your check-in visibility. Toggle between public, friends, or close friends. Zero background tracking—location updates only when open. Safety first: 24-hour moderation on all user reports. 

Hot Spots is for people 16 and older.

Thanks for being here early. Connecting the Real World.
