Poster beta
Poster turns the event flyers you walk past — concerts, night markets, gallery shows — into real plans. Snap a photo and it becomes an event in your feed, ready to share. From lamppost to calendar in ten seconds.
Capture one poster before the doors open and Founding Member stays on your profile for good. The doors open when the beta ends.

Telephone poles, café windows, venue doors. Every poster out there is an event the internet hasn't heard about — until you find it.
One photo. Your phone crops the poster and reads the title, time, venue and price off it. You give it a glance and publish. A second read on our side checks the details against the photo afterwards, so what's in the feed stays right.
The event lands in the feed for everyone nearby. If you found it first, it's yours — first-find credit, forever.
Posters up front, soonest first, close to home. It stays tight in the city and looks farther afield out in the sticks.
Find a poster before anyone else and your name stays on that event for good; everyone who opens it sees who found it. Keep it up and you're one of the people your city's feed runs on. The awards and the local board are just where that shows.
Save an event and it shows up in your phone's calendar. That's the whole feature. It rules.
Send any event as a clean card over Messages, WhatsApp, or straight into an Instagram story.
Read on the spot, checked after. Your phone reads the poster the moment you capture it, and after you publish, the details get a second look against the photo on our side — so the feed stays right without anyone retyping anything. When you publish a poster, what leaves your phone is the photo, the details read off it, and the spot it was captured, which places the event and matches a poster somebody else already found. That spot is kept readable by you and nobody else; the feed shows only the event's own location. No ads, no tracking, and you can browse without an account. The posters are the interface; we stay out of the way. The rest is in the privacy policy, in plain words.
It's early. You'll hit rough edges, and we want to hear about every one of them. The beta is running in San Francisco, Reno, Truckee and Chicago, a neighborhood at a time. Tell us where you walk. Poster is made by @brian, one person who bounces between San Francisco and Truckee, reads every request and sends every invite by hand.
