Getting Started with Matters.com

Matters.com is a platform for organizing what matters to you and seeing what matters to others.

Matters works by rating topics and following people. You rate topics as you come across them on your For You page, on someone’s profile, and across Matters.com. You do not need to rate everything. You can also add sub-topics to explore a topic in more detail.

Topics are rated using three options:

Matters — what’s important to you right now.

Not Matters — what isn’t important to you right now.

Matters (Hold) — topics automatically move here over time with inactivity to keep your list manageable.

Subscribers can mark up to seven topics as ❗ Top, which keeps them pinned at the top of your profile. Only ❗ topics are searchable.

For each topic, Matters captures why it matters to you. A summary is generated automatically from your notes or from podcasts you record on Matters. You can edit or add notes at any time.

You can follow people to see what matters to them. Subscribers can also contact people directly through messaging.

Matters also supports projects, which are used to collaborate, record podcasts, or work through topics together over time.

To get started, rate a few topics that matter to you and follow a few people. You can do more later if you want.
