Place Posts and Tentative Check-Ins
How the place page groups upcoming and past posts, what Tentative check-ins means, and how active-check-in metadata connects to venue activity.
Where you see this in the app
This page documents the lower half of a place page:
| Surface | What it does |
|---|---|
| place metadata cards | Show venue details and active-check-in count |
Tentative check-ins | Show venue-linked posts grouped by timing |
Upcoming / Past tabs | Split venue activity by timing |
Active check-ins and place details
The place page exposes a few status cards before the post list.
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
Active check-ins | Hosts checked in within the current active window |
Timezone | Reference timezone for the place |
City, Country, Phone, Website | Venue metadata when available |
The Create a post for this place card is the fast path into posting against that venue.
Tentative check-ins, upcoming vs past
Tentative check-ins is the place page’s main post list.
| Tab | What users should expect |
|---|---|
Upcoming | Planned or currently relevant venue activity |
Past | Older venue-linked activity |
The empty states matter too. An empty Upcoming tab means no current or near-future venue activity is visible yet.
Flexible timing and UTC note
Not every place-linked post has a precise schedule.
If a post does not have a strict schedule, the grouping can fall back to Flexible timing.
The page also explicitly warns that times are shown in UTC, while separately naming the place timezone. That distinction is important when a viewer is planning around venue-local time.
How to read venue post lists
The intended mental model is:
- use the metadata cards to understand the venue,
- use
Upcomingto find timely activity, - switch to
Pastwhen you want history, - treat
Flexible timingas unscheduled but still relevant venue activity.
This section is the venue activity board, not just a generic chronological feed clone.
