Hey fellow permies!
Long-time lurker here and a big fan of permaculture and community-building! I’m a software engineer by day, and for the past couple of years, I’ve been tinkering with a project to make it easier for people to find local groups and connect around shared interests.
The idea came about partly because of the high organizer fees on platforms like Meetup.com and my own frustration with how clunky some tools feel for community building—especially for non-profits and grassroots groups.
Anyway, earlier this year, I launched a simple platform that serves as a directory for groups and communities. It’s still a work in progress, but right now, it’s focused on helping groups get discovered and manage events (basic RSVP stuff, nothing too fancy yet). And it’s completely free, especially for non-profit and community-oriented groups.
I’ve personally found environmental and sustainability groups to be some of the most inspiring and impactful communities, so I’d love to see more of them represented. If any of you run or are part of a group like that, I’d be thrilled if you checked it out or added your group: https://www.radius.to/
Here’s a quick example of a group which uses the platform – https://www.radius.to/groups/toronto-ruby
P.S. hope this doesn’t feel spammy — I genuinely want to help make it easier for people to connect and strengthen their communities. Thanks for reading, and if you have any feedback, ideas, or questions, I’d be super grateful to hear them!
