Private groups
Create an invite-based space for a club, specialty, event, or research project, and keep its conversations accessible on the web and mobile.
Smaller circles, better conversations
Groups combine real-time conversation with the context of GatherThat collections, while direct messages support one-to-one connections.
Why it matters
Groups provide a smaller, invite-based place for a club, specialty, event, or research effort. Members can discuss the work while moving naturally to the items and collections that provide context.
Direct messages support one-to-one questions, introductions, and offer conversations without requiring members to publish personal contact details.
What it brings together
Create an invite-based space for a club, specialty, event, or research project, and keep its conversations accessible on the web and mobile.
Keep discussion active without moving everyone into a separate social platform.
Reach another member privately about an interest, public item, or offer conversation.
Move naturally between the discussion and the collectibles that inspired it.
In practice
A closer look
A public collection invites discovery; a group creates a focused room; a direct message gives two collectors a private channel.
Start with the people you already collect with.
