The “areas of expertise” and, to a lesser extent, the “areas of interest” features seem off on Swapcard. Many people put 5+ areas as their expertise. This is not only unlikely, but dilutes the filtering feature. Some people also don’t put in anything (I think?), which means they will be left out of my search, even if they would be relevant to talk to.
Suggested improvement: make it compulsory to add at least one area of expertise, but cap it at 3, so people don’t just put in everything.
