01Research · Demand and behaviour
The interest exists. Its connected home does not.
Interest clubs already operate at enormous scale. The open question is not whether people care. It is whether their Things, knowledge, memories, places, experiences and relationships can stay connected in one place.
02Signal · Attention
People already organise themselves by interest.
Reddit is only one surface, yet its scale makes the underlying demand clear. The opportunity is not to invent interest clubs. It is to give members continuity across them.

Things and shared practice already drive real behaviour.
Strava surveyed more than 30,000 people alongside billions of activities. The numbers point away from passive consumption and towards gear, practice and meeting people through a shared interest.

04The current journey
Demand is proven. The connected home is missing.
Each product below is useful. The break appears between them, where members reconstruct ownership, practice and relationships by hand.
- 01
Discuss
Reddit · Facebook Groups
Answers and conversations move through timelines. Your own Things, photographs and progress remain somewhere else.
- 02
Publish
Instagram · TikTok
A strong distribution surface, but reach and reaction organise the experience more than a durable personal record.
- 03
Meet
Group chats · ticketing tools
The gathering creates a moment. The practice, equipment and relationships before and after it rarely stay connected.
- 04
Keep
Notes · spreadsheets · memory
Ownership and meaning are private but disconnected from photographs, learning and the people who share the interest.
(missing layer)
A connected home for the interest

- context

05The product thesis
Useful alone. More valuable with context. Defensible through density.
- 01
Personal utility first
A member can keep Things, photographs and memory without needing an audience.
- 02
Club through specificity
Shared products, Sessions and places create reasons for relevant conversation.
- 03
Expansion through a reusable kernel
The Thing-to-experience loop can support another chapter without creating another account.
06What must be proved
No invented traction. Four cohort questions.
These are the measures that matter before a broad market story. The founding cohort has not yet proved retention, product-market fit or public adoption.

Do members come back without an attention feed?
