Meetup was a great platform but has totally lost it in the user experience. Out of all popular consumer apps, I would argue Meetup has the highest friction for both organizers and participants

My problems meeting cyclists in Toronto led me to make a Toronto cycling discord of almost 1000 users

I actually took the solution and have just launched an app for many more hobbies and anyplace! https://radar.ac

We'lr be adding events/plans by end end of Q4. Zero friction to create or join an event!



Meetup can't even get basic things correct. I updated my profile photo, and now the new one is shown on some pages while the old one is shown in others. I look totally different in the photos too, and since I'm the organizer it confuses the hell out of people!


It's been downhill ever since they switched to GraphQL; seems like their developers can't deliver on the basics.


Won’t accept non-US phone numbers?
