Aug 2026

RELEASE
  • Member activities: post what you are doing soon or open to meeting others who share your interests. Two activity types, visibility controls, time voting, and discovery on your profile, feed, and members map. A help icon in the composer links to the full guide.
  • Sign in with Bluesky: create an account or sign in using your Bluesky account, alongside Google and email.
  • 3+ organisers (Pro): Free groups can have up to 2 organisers. Upgrade to Pro to add more.

Jul 2026

RELEASE
  • Recurring events: organisers can set a weekly, fortnightly, or monthly schedule when creating an event. Radius automatically publishes upcoming instances, and you can edit or cancel with this-event or this-and-following scopes. Free for all groups.
  • Private groups (Pro): mark your group as private so only members can view its content. Non-members can request to join; the group is hidden from search and public feeds.

Jun 2026

RELEASE
  • Group data export: organisers can download a ZIP of their group's events, members, posts, photos, and settings from a new Data export tab in group settings.
  • Event schedule: organisers can add a run-of-show timeline to events with timed agenda items, optional speakers, and descriptions. Attendees see it on the event page in a clean timeline layout.
  • Event form improvements: schedule, guests, food & drinks, and facilities are now optional collapsible sections—collapsed by default on new events to keep the form shorter.

May 2026

RELEASE
  • Member moderation: organisers can now ban or remove members, and require approval for new joins.
  • Notification settings: organisers can toggle which email notifications are sent for their group.
  • Group page redesign: group pages now feature a tabbed layout with Events, Feed, About, and Photos tabs, a new header and banner section, and sidebar info cards.

  • Embeddable events widget: display your next 3 upcoming events on any website. Add the code once and it stays automatically updated with your latest events. Available in dark and light themes.
  • Multiple organisers: group owners can now promote members to co-organiser directly from group settings. New organisers receive an email notification and gain full event and settings access.
