Case study · Community platform
Where hobbies
become communities.
One app for hobby communities to find members, host ticketed events, and buy, sell and swap gear. It replaces the link-in-bio mess of WhatsApp groups, payment links and spreadsheets that most organisers were juggling.

The starting point
The challenge
01
Organisers lived in link-in-bio chaos
WhatsApp groups, Google Forms, UPI links and Instagram DMs, all for a single event.
02
Members drifted away
Without a real community home, people attended once and never found the group again.
03
Hosts could not earn fairly
Ticketing platforms took big cuts and gave hosts little data about who showed up.
04
Three roles, one app
Individuals, groups and communities each needed different tools without the app feeling complicated.
What we built

Results & impact
What changed
after launch
Before
Organisers ran events across WhatsApp, forms and payment links, and members drifted away after a single meetup.
After
Communities have one home for members, tickets and gear, and the app connects people to the next thing they will love.
