# Tech Communities -- Communex

Explore and discover verified tech communities across India. Filter by technology stack, city, state, or meeting format. All communities are pinned on an interactive map.

## How to Browse

Use the map + list panel to find communities:
- **Search by name** via the toolbar
- **Filter by category**, meeting type, frequency, city, or state
- **Radius filter** -- show communities within N km of your location, or "Any distance" for all
- **Sort** by distance, member count, last active, or newest

The map always shows every community pin regardless of the radius filter, so you can visually discover communities in any city.
