We're looking to build real local communities, with live social posts that show up on the local map, spontaneous invites, and the hottest events and venues around town. Love an event or venue? Send a Rondevu. Someone in your city gets the recommendation, but not your profile information. If the night delivers, you get the chance to connect after. Similar interests, No awkwardness. Drop memories anywhere on that map. A photo from that ridiculous night. A note about the perfect booth. A question to the entire community. Keep them private as your own city diary, or leave them out there for others to find like little secrets baked into the streets. You become the Social in Social Media. And we show the big stuff loud and clear. Bar crawls. Festivals. Food and drink specials. Food menus, Whole neighborhood takeovers. All overlaid beautifully so you see exactly where the crowd is right now. And the niche events? Even easier to find. Full club and artist profiles. Gaming groups. Fraternity Rushes. All shown on a beautiful starry backdrop. RSVP and tickets. Find your friends. Gorgeous UI that filters down to whatever you want in seconds. Free. No ads. No paywalls. Pick an event. Send it. Show up. See what happens after.
