See how a circle is made
Four short walkthroughs, one for each kind of member. Each shows the web app and the phone app, from both sides of a request, and the circle afterwards.
A parent starts a circle
First draftMaria signs up as a parent, adds her child, and finds another family and a tutor nearby on the Discover map. She sends a circle request with the subject and ages, everyone talks it over in a chat, and once they accept, the circle appears in My Circles. The tutor runs the sessions, and Maria follows progress in the family notebook.
