Just squads.
how does the matching actually work under the hood, like does it ping everyone in a region at once or just surface the session to people who fit the filters when they open the app?
@asminhnkd4ye Great question! Right now it's more "structured browse" than active matching — when you open Krew, it pulls live sessions matching your filters (game, skill, region, mic, time commitment) in real-time, so you're always seeing what's actually open right now, not stale posts from hours ago like a Discord LFG channel.
No background pinging or push-matching yet — but that's actually next on the roadmap. Thinking about adding opt-in alerts so you get notified the instant a session matching your saved preferences goes live, even if you're not in the app. Would that be useful to you, or are you more the "open app, check what's live" type?
how does the rating system actually work for hosts — is it based on just upvotes or do you factor in how often people actually show up to sessions?
@arifeaydnbqhqp Right now it's a straight-up thumbs-up rep score — after a session ends, players rate their host, and that count follows them on their profile. Dead simple, but it works: bad hosts don't build reputation, good ones do, and you can see it before you ever join.
But you just poked at something I've been thinking about a LOT — no-show tracking is the missing piece. A host could have great ratings but sessions that keep falling apart from ghosts. Imagine seeing not just "👍 47" but "👍 47 · 92% sessions actually filled" — that's a way stronger trust signal, and honestly a way better flex for good hosts too.
This might just become a real feature because of this comment. Would you want to see something like session completion rate baked into ratings, or is a simpler "no-show count" enough?
Spent a few minutes messing with the session filters and the vibe-based matching actually works decently for Valorant — found a group of three around my rank in under a minute. Nice to skip the Discord spam for once.
@zzetl8bz This means a lot — thank you for actually testing it out, not just skimming the listing!
Under a minute for a Valorant squad is exactly the moment I built Krew for. I've lost count of how many nights I gave up entirely because Discord LFG turned "let's play" into a 20-minute scavenger hunt.
Curious — was it the skill/rank filter that did the heavy lifting for you, or did region/mic matching play a role too? Trying to figure out which filters people actually rely on most vs. which ones are just nice-to-haves, so this genuinely helps shape what gets refined next.
The session setup is genuinely fast, picked my game and region in under a minute and matched with two players within a few. Love that I can browse without committing to an account first.
@ahmetrtensjl1 This is exactly the experience I was chasing — "I want to play" to "I'm in a squad" without any friction in between. Really glad the guest browsing landed too; didn't want signup to be the thing standing between someone and their squad.
Out of curiosity, did you end up creating an account after matching, or are you sticking with guest mode for now? Trying to understand if guest browsing is mostly a "try before you commit" step or if people are happy staying guest long-term — helps me figure out how much to lean into that flow going forward.
