Use cases
What people are already tracking
Every line below is a real starting point in the composer, not copy written for this page. They are all plain sentences, because that is the whole interface — you write yours the same way.
Real Estate & Housing
“Alert me when a 2-bedroom apartment becomes available in Kilimani or Lavington, Nairobi, under KES 80,000/month, with parking.”
Anchor on the specific area — country-level filtering cannot express a neighbourhood.
Death, Funeral & Memorial
“Notify me of any death, funeral, or memorial announcement involving alumni of Naivasha Boys Boarding School, class of 2001.”
Never listed in Explore. Narrow and identity-specific by nature, so every anchor must appear.

Three of these are never public
dating, bereavement and medical fundraiser alerts are never listed in Explore and never shown to somebody browsing without an account, whatever the setting says — the description alone can identify the person it is about, and it does so exactly in the situations where that matters most.
They match and notify like any other alert. They just never become something a stranger can go looking for.
