From the makers of At the Pool, this app lets you discover cool things going on around you and connects you to the people in your area who share your interests. These [local discussions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/place-to-be) give way for cohesive communities to be formed as users get connected and recommend new activities. With topics organized into photo cards, Yeti app is like Tinder in that you swipe right to engage in conversation and can scroll through different experiential options. This app is especially popular with travelers according to founder Alex Capecelatro, as it gives them the opportunity to explore a new city.
