Group & Event Suggester

🔍 What Each Row Actually Is

An interest that members near you tagged 😍 Love or 🙂 Like, with no group or event covering it yet. The count is how many of those members there are.

Names are matched loosely and by location, ignoring spacing and punctuation — an existing group called "Badminton" based in Novi kills the "Badminton (Novi, Michigan)" idea. If it's listed here, nobody has built it.

⚙ You're Seeing a Narrow Slice

Filters start collapsed, at Size: 📌 City, People Interested: 25+ and Within 50 mi. Far more ideas exist — open ⚙ Filters, then widen Size or drop the threshold to 5+. Whatever you change is kept, so on a later visit you're seeing your own settings, not these; ↺ Reset Filters puts them back.

Radius measures from the city and state on your profile. Type a City and that city becomes the center instead, pulling in its neighbors. While anything is off its default, the collapsed ⚙ Filters strip says how many filters are on.

✨ For You matches rows against your own tagged interests — it finds nothing until you've tagged some on Interests. It and ★ Saved only narrow every list, and 🤝 Take One Over rows carry no interest or star, so either one empties that section.

＋ Acting On One

＋ Create opens Create Group or Create Event with the name already filled in, plus where the demand is: city and state for a 📌 City row, the state for 📍 Statewide or 🏙 Metro.

👥 Find them jumps to Member Search filtered to that interest in that place — the members behind the row. Worth a look before you commit.

☆ saves a row, ✕ hides it, and both follow you across your devices. Hidden rows come back from the 🙈 strip above the lists.

💡 Tips

• 🔥 Popular here — far more popular locally than nationally. 💡 Bigger as Metro — the whole metro wants it, so build it metro-wide instead of city-only. A row shows at most one of them, and 🔥 wins when both fit.
• Under 🤝 Take One Over, tap View Group or View Event and claim the organizer role on its own page.
• 🔗 Copy link shares your exact filtered view; your filters follow you across devices anyway.
• Country is the one filter that reloads the page — the others apply instantly.
