I'm going to be working on making it easier for users to form groups with their friends/co-workers on manifold. I'm aiming to make a manifold group a cross between an SMS/FB messenger group chat and a subreddit with rankings. You can forcibly add any user to your group so that they will see the group page icon on their navbar for ease of access to the group page, and they will have easy access to the group's tag when creating a market. Leaving it will be easy, too. Groups will have unique invite links (that land on the group page) that you can use to invite new users who're specifically interested in the topics you & others in your group create markets on. I don't think spammy group adds will be a problem at this early in the game.
At its most basic, a group page will have a comment wall for general comments, a question feed for questions that are tagged with the group's tag, and rankings for who's doing the best in only the markets with that tag. This will let you compete with your friends/coworkers/other physicists on markets that are relevant & interesting to y'all, and abstain from competing site-wide on things that aren't interesting to you or you have no edge on.
This is both a market on what you'll use groups for with this basic feature set and a space to convince me that, if I build some feature that you want, you'd use groups for that new thing.
