A live, anonymous board for your event or campus
Set up a place on nearby and everyone inside it gets a shared feed: questions, lost and found, where the queue is short, what’s worth seeing. Free, no sign-up, nothing to install.
How it works
- Stand roughly in the middle of your venue and open nearby.
- Choose Set up a place, give it a name, and pick a fence: 100 m (one building), 250 m (a block or small festival), 500 m (a campus) or 1 km (a large site).
- You get a link and a printable QR poster. Put the poster at entrances, on screens or in the programme.
- Anyone with the link can read the feed. Only people physically inside the fence can post, reply or vote.
Good fits
| Where | What people use it for |
|---|---|
| Festivals and fairs | Set changes, queue times, lost friends and lost property, water points |
| Conferences | Questions for speakers, which room is full, dinner plans |
| Campuses and libraries | Free study spaces, events tonight, “anyone else hear that?” |
| Buildings and blocks | Deliveries, lifts out of order, noise, borrowing a ladder |
Safety
Places follow the same house rules as everywhere on nearby: adults only, no naming private people, automatic filtering before anything appears, and posts hidden after a few reports. Posts disappear after 24 hours. Places close after 30 days without a post.
