Beyond the Group Chat: Why San Diego Needs a Better Way to Plan Events

Written By Siamac Sani

San Diego is buzzing with energy. From sunset sails on the bay to concerts at The Rady Shell, brewery meetups in North Park, and late-night taco runs in Gaslamp, there’s never a shortage of things to do.

But when it comes to actually organizing plans with friends? Most of us are still stuck in the chaos of the group chat.

We’ve all seen it: someone types “Let’s do something this weekend!” and suddenly the thread explodes with notifications, memes, conflicting schedules, and a bunch of maybes that rarely turn into yeses. By the time you scroll through 100+ messages, the original plan is gone.

In a city this vibrant, that’s more than an annoyance. It’s a barrier to making memories. San Diego deserves better.

The Pain Points of Group Chat Planning

  • Details get buried. Time, location, and who’s bringing what are scattered across endless messages.

  • Decision-making is painful. Getting consensus on a date or place feels impossible without polls or structure.

  • Too much noise. Off-topic chatter, memes, and constant pings drown out the important stuff.

  • No central hub. Guest list, updates, and photos are split across multiple apps.

For local creators and organizers, the problem is even bigger. How do you promote and build community when posts get lost in feeds or buried in private chats?
