Hang out with the people from your community. Beiko connects you with the people who share your place: your apartment building, coworking space, office or gym. You see them every day but haven’t really met yet. Beiko makes it easy to finally hang out. JOIN YOUR COMMUNITY Find your building on the map, join with an invite link, or join when you’re there. Chat with your community and see who’s in it. START A HANG Coffee, drinks, a walk, a game: post what you’re up for and see who’s in. Once three people are in, the hang can start its own group chat to make plans. SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING The Activity board shows open hangs from your communities and nearby ones. See something fun? Ask to join, and the host can let you in. MEET PEOPLE YOU CAN TRUST Everyone in a community shares the same place, so new faces are never complete strangers. Keep in touch with the people you meet in your Crew. SAFE BY DESIGN Report or block anyone, and community admins can remove members. You decide when you’re visible on the map, and Beiko asks you every time.
