Organise and attend in-person events

## What are Meetups?

Meetups are in-person events for collectors: swaps, live pulls, trade nights, and community gatherings. Organise one near you or attend one in your area. SwapPulse handles the listings, RSVPs, and map, you handle the fun.

## What you can do

* **Browse meetups:** See upcoming meetups on a map and in a list.
* **RSVP:** Mark yourself as attending so the organiser knows.
* **Organise:** Create a meetup with date, time, location, and description.
* **Manage RSVPs:** See who's attending as the organiser.

## Finding meetups near you

The Meetups page shows events on a map. Pan and zoom to your area to see what's nearby. Each marker shows the event details and a link to RSVP.

## Organising a meetup

1. Go to the Meetups page and click Create Meetup.
2. Set the title, date, time, and location (with map coordinates).
3. Add a description so collectors know what to expect.
4. Publish. Your meetup appears on the map and list.
5. Track RSVPs from your meetup's detail page.

## RSVPing

Click Attend on any meetup to RSVP. The organiser sees your attendance. You can change your RSVP if plans change.

## Tips

* Scope a meetup to a circle for a more focused group.
* Be clear about what to bring (cards for trading, cash, etc.) in the description.
