Challenge

With so many types of communities (e.g., coworking spaces, restaurants, public services, events), users have diverse goals—some want networking, others want food, collaboration, or event participation. The platform must:
・Match users to relevant communities and people, not just display options
・Provide real-time, location-based engagement (like check-ins and maps)

Solution

Advanced Community Discovery & Filtering
・Allow users to search by location, category, popularity, or activity level
・Use tag-based filters (e.g., “tech meetup”, “quiet coworking”, “pet-friendly”) and user intent selection (“looking to network”, “need a workspace”, etc.)
・Integrate map view with heatmaps of popular or trending spots

Smart Check-In System
・Let users check in to a community with geolocation or QR codes
・Trigger in-community content, announcements, or networking prompts upon check-in
・Track check-in history for recommendations and admin insights
