'Meeve' Helps Users Interact with Others in Their Community Offline
Michael Hemsworth — December 12, 2018 — Tech
The increasing amount of time that consumers are spending online translates directly to a decrease in offline socializing, so the 'Meeve' platform is positioned as a way to counteract this. The app works by having users create hyper-local events that allow them to connect with other people in their community that share the same interests to get them off their smartphones and interacting IRL.
The 'Meeve' platform is focused on local communities, but also allows users to see what's going on a bit farther away to let them explore based on their needs or preferences. Event ideas could include gaming, business, sports, studying and much more to help users break out of their habit of socializing mostly online.
