A personalized guide to events, places, and experiences worth discovering.
Vybra helps people discover what’s happening around them—from trending events and local venues to personalized experiences based on their interests and location. We built the discovery experience, event and place exploration flows, social and referral features, membership experience, and recommendation layer to make finding things to do feel more personal.
A walk through the product.
Finding something to do shouldn’t feel like a search problem.
Local experiences are everywhere, but discovering the right ones can be difficult. Users often have to jump between event platforms, venue listings, social feeds, and search results just to figure out what’s happening nearby and what actually matches their interests.
The challenge was to create a discovery experience that feels personal rather than overwhelming—helping users find relevant events, places, and experiences based on their interests and location, while making it easy to explore, save, and act on what they discover.
The product also needed to go beyond basic event discovery. Vybra combines personalized recommendations with local venue discovery, partner experiences, membership perks, referrals, notifications, and an AI-powered assistant to create a more complete way to experience a city.
What it took.
- Making discovery feel personal. Users need more than a generic list of nearby events. We built an interest-driven discovery experience that combines user preferences, location, trending content, categories, and upcoming events to surface experiences that feel relevant.
- Connecting discovery to location. Local discovery depends on knowing what is happening around the user. We integrated device geolocation with Google Places and Geocoding to support location-aware results, manual address search, autocomplete, and distance-based venue discovery.
- Bringing events and places into one experience. Events and venues require different discovery patterns and information. We built dedicated event and Places experiences with category browsing, filtering, detail pages, media galleries, reviews, pricing, distance, and venue information.
- Building a sustainable membership experience. Vybra is more than a free discovery feed. We built subscription plans, a free trial, membership management, payment flows, and partner experiences to support the product’s paid membership model across iOS and Android.
