Problem
Students and local residents often struggle to discover nearby real‑life activities and events that match their interests, leading to fragmented social experiences and limited community engagement.
Solution
Vibe is a community‑first social platform that organizes content around campus, neighborhood, or interest‑based groups, delivering a feed of locally relevant events, activities, and rewards.

The app integrates reward offers from nearby businesses to incentivize participation, and its design incorporates behavioral‑science principles to promote wellbeing and reduce the negative effects of typical social‑media use. By turning online interactions into actionable plans, Vibe helps users build meaningful, face‑to‑face connections within their immediate community.
