This is the page users see after they’ve signed in to the site. Here’s what I’m seeing.
- Interests List – this is taking up way too much space. After I set my interests, I don’t need to see them anymore. This is wasting prime real estate.
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Shrink, hide, conceal, but don’t remove. - Recommended Groups – below the interests list is a selection of recommended groups. It’s showing 10 recommendations, then has nothing below it. See below image “Bird’s Eye View.”
PROPOSED SOLUTION: They either need to expand how many are shown, or add some sort of content below this. - Sidebar – Events List – under the calendar, I can’t easily tell which events are from my groups and which are from recommended groups… until I scroll to the bottom of the enormously long page and notice My Groups are hidden at the bottom. See “Bird’s Eye View.”
PROPOSED SOLUTION: Use tabs at the top.

Bird's Eye View
Unrelated to the above page and more just having to do with Meetup.com’s UX in general…
- Staleness – How can I tell if a group has gone stale or has been abandoned by its leaders? I don’t want to join these groups. Provide me an indicator!
- Group Profiles – Every time I join a new meetup it asks me to create a separate profile for that specific group… is this really necessary?
- Time Filtering – I can’t go to meetups from 9-5 on weekdays because I’m at work. Allow me a way to filter these out.
- Other Filtering – There are a ton of groups that are women-only. Allow me to filter these out.
