Circles

Overview

A Circle is your core group on Siggme.

It represents the people you regularly connect with - friends, family, coworkers, or any group that gathers together.

Everything you create - events, proposals, and locations - is shared within a circle.

How Circles Work

Circles give structure to your social interactions:

• You create a circle
• You invite people to join
• Members become part of your group
• You share events and signals with that circle

Each circle operates independently, so you can organize different groups separately.

Why Circles Exist

Most coordination tools treat communication as one large stream.

Siggme is built differently.

Circles allow you to:

• Keep interactions relevant
• Share only with the right people
• Avoid over-inviting or spamming
• Build consistent group dynamics

Types of Circles

You might create circles for:

• Close friends
• Family
• Sports groups
• Game nights
• Work teams
• Local communities

Each circle can have its own rhythm and style of gathering.

Invitations

People join a circle through invitations:

• Email invites
• QR codes
• Direct links or codes

Joining is intentional - only invited members are included.

What You Share in a Circle

Within a circle, you can:

• Propose events
• Create scheduled events
• Use Locations (Green Light Mode)
• Send signals about availability

Everything stays within the group.

Circles vs Social Feeds

Circles:

• Focused groups
• Intentional membership
• Real-world outcomes
• Low noise

Typical social platforms:

• Broad audiences
• Passive consumption
• High noise
• Less follow-through

Why Circles Work

Real-world gatherings happen in small, connected groups.

Circles reflect that reality.

They make it easier to:

• Build momentum
• Maintain engagement
• Turn ideas into actual plans

Best Practices

• Keep circles purposeful
• Avoid making them too large
• Group people who are likely to gather together
• Create separate circles for different contexts

Tips

• Start small and grow naturally
• Use clear naming so people understand the group
• Keep your circle active with occasional signals
• Do not be afraid to create multiple circles

Example Flow

You create a "Friday Friends" circle

You invite a handful of people

They join the circle

You propose a casual meetup

Interest builds

A real gathering happens

Summary

Circles are the foundation of Siggme.

They define who you connect with, keep interactions focused, and make it easier to turn shared interest into real gatherings.
