About
This is where it started.
Cities were the first tribes.
Before nations. Before algorithms. Before everything we ever invented to bring people together — there were cities. You didn't just live in one. You chose one. It shaped you. It defined you. It became the first thing you said about yourself to a stranger.
That never changed.
People say it every day. Berlin-based. London-based. New York-based. Not a location. A declaration. The city you chose, out loud, in two words. It carries weight that nothing else does.
And yet.
Choosing a city and belonging to one are two different things.
You can love your city and still feel like you're watching it from the outside. Still walk past everything worth going to. Still not find the people who see it the way you do. The city is right there. And somehow you're not fully in it.
That never had a home online.
[city]-based is that home.
One platform per city. Events worth going to. Places worth knowing. The people who actually live there. A handle at [city]-based/you. Your city, finally online.
