Challenge
Before

There was no way to find hobby or activity partners nearby, and existing SNS made it hard to interact safely. On the operator side, ensuring soundness and building continuous monetization were challenges.

  • Wanted to find activity partners nearby
    No nearby place for meetups
  • Wanted to interact safely
    No reporting or blocking system
  • Wanted to keep a healthy community
    Operational moderation was difficult
  • Wanted continuous monetization
    No revenue model
Solution
After

Post meetups by area and station and interact within communities. Connect in real time with chat and push notifications; stay safe with reporting/blocking/muting. Monetize through in-app coin purchases, and run posts, reports, and users from the admin panel.
