What does the distance badge on profiles mean?

The distance badge is a small gray indicator that appears on creator profile cards when you're searching beyond your exact city. Here's what it means:

Badge Appearance​

The distance badge appears as: Distance badge example

  • Small gray badge in the top-left corner of profile photos
  • White text showing the distance (e.g., "25km", "45mi")
  • Only visible when using the nearby distance slider
  • Automatically formatted in your preferred units (km or miles)

When You See Distance Badges​

  • ✅ Nearby Search: Only appears when you've expanded beyond "exact city"
  • ✅ Multiple Cities: When creators are based in surrounding areas
  • ✅ Travel Mode: When viewing creators in cities you plan to visit
  • ❌ Exact City: No badges shown for creators in your selected city

Distance Calculation​

The system calculates distance:

  • City to City: Between the centers of both cities
  • Straight Line: "As the crow flies" measurement

Using Distance Info for Planning​

25-50km (15-30mi):

  • Easy day trip distance
  • Often same metro area
  • Minimal additional travel cost

60-100km (40-60mi):

  • Regional collaboration opportunities
  • May require planning overnight stay
  • Still within reasonable travel range

100km+ (60mi+):

  • Longer distance collaboration
  • Consider multi-day projects
  • Factor in travel time and costs

Pro Tips​

  • 💡 Plan Efficiently: Group collaborations by distance to minimize travel
  • 📍 Metro Areas: Creators 20-30km away might be more accessible than the distance suggests
  • 🚗 Transportation: Consider public transit availability to nearby cities

Remember: Distance badges help you make informed decisions about collaboration feasibility and travel planning!
