Welcome to the Nearby Community guide
Nearby Community is a new-generation social network designed to help you make the most of the real world: on the map you'll find the events and places around you, people's stories and local news.
The starting point is the nearbycommunity.it website.
Three ways to use Nearby
| What it is | Where | |
|---|---|---|
| 📱 Web mobile | the web app in your phone's browser: map, events and places, with nothing to install | app.nearbycommunity.it |
| 💻 Web desktop | the same web app on your computer, with a big map and the details in a side panel | app.nearbycommunity.it |
| 📲 App | the app for iPhone and Android, with your account, friends, Tales, messages and all the features | App Store and Google Play |
On the screens pages you'll find a tab for each one: choose the one you're using. Your choice stays the same on every page.
- 📱 Web mobile
- 💻 Web desktop
- 📲 App
On your phone, open app.nearbycommunity.it in the browser: the map of the area around you opens straight away. See Opening Nearby.
On your computer, open app.nearbycommunity.it: the map fills the whole screen and, when you click an event or a place, the details open in a panel on the right. See Opening Nearby.
The guide of the app is on its way
We are preparing the pages about the Nearby Community app for iPhone and Android, with its screens. In the meantime you can download it for free from the stores.
In the browser, Nearby works as an interactive guide to the area: you can explore the map, open events and places and share them, but you can't sign in to your account or interact with other users. For everything else you need the app.
The guide of every screen
On every screen of the web app there's the ⓘ icon (Guide to this page): it opens the page of this guide about that screen, in your language and already on the tab of the device you're using. The addresses of the guide are those of the web app, without the identifiers:
| Screen | Guide |
|---|---|
app.nearbycommunity.it/discover/map | /en/app/discover/map |
app.nearbycommunity.it/view/events/… | /en/app/view/events |
app.nearbycommunity.it/view/poi/… | /en/app/view/poi |
app.nearbycommunity.it/view/poi/category/… | /en/app/view/poi/category |
app.nearbycommunity.it/user/… | /en/app/user |
