Radius relaunches as Meetup alternative on Hacker News

Detailed UX feedback and bug reports emerge from user testing

7 Sep 21 2:20 PM · 2d ago · 1 comment · 1 source · development 7 of 8

Users reported specific friction points: needing location permission to see local events rather than typing a city name, unclear landing page messaging that reads like B2B SaaS, and a bug where setting radius to 1000km showed worldwide events.

“I set the radius to 1000 (instead of 100) in the URL and it looks like I get a feed for the whole world. I'm more than 1,000 km from California and Europe and I see all of everything.”
