How do you plan on handling the influx of garbage? I like the idea, but I’m inclined to think registration of event organizers would be necessary to control the spam.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
Yea something like that would be necessary in the long run, or just use the event creation cookie user to moderate the rsvps. (or you can create private events)

How does federated social already handle spam? just use that. I guess specific servers can ban.

Smoke Signal has a similar system on ATProto (no affiliation)

I believe this is the project that has the Rust code (on the GitHub of ATProto)

Ohh nice! I'll look into it.

There are several offensively titled events. No moderation whatsoever. This is likely 100% vibe coded in a day.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
Ofc, don’t have to moderate every randomly submitted event, but I am planning to add a moderation page to delete or filter offensive events.

This is cool looking but you should note in the front page that it has ical, et al. calendar features.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
Thanks for the feedback.

This is super cool, going to try using this for an event this week and self-host a server if it works nicely, have been looking for a privacy-first version of Partiful for a while.

Needs the ability to have a waitlist.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
Noted.
dbjacobs·vor 8 Monaten
Any plans to add the ability to have waiver/release forms for an event that need to be signed?
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
I didn’t think of that.

How does it compare to Mobilizon?
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
It's similar, but not that good as Mobilizon, Im focusing on simplicity with an improved UI and experience.

I'm assuming easier to spin up a new instance on your own, but this is my personal opinion.
rapnie·vor 8 Monaten
Do you have plans for adding ActivityPub support in the future? That would be very cool, and having interop with these other FOSS projects will help give things network effects.
james-bcn·vor 8 Monaten
Mobilizon looks interesting but their docs results in a 404, which doesn't inspire confidence.

I quite like this, have just spun up a quick self hosted instance to play with.

I'm wondering though - after creating an event, how does one see the list of who has RSVPd to attend? I can't seem to find any way to see this info.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
In the detailed page of the event, there is the rsvp list.

Please, consider a better name. It's really hard to promote something with a name that no one can pronounce or spell.

Very cool, is it possible to add voting for multiple dates too?
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
Right now nope, but I'm planning to add new features.

API, Please make an API? I could integrate my RSVP system into it which requires more specific features but could use this to create the base for the event.
orbanlevi·vor 8 Monaten
You need an API for creating events?
thedangler·vor 8 Monaten
Yes, I would piggyback on to the base event which would be created, which would allow me to build out my extra features which need a base event.

API's are always a good thing, weather they are private or not.
macintux·vor 8 Monaten
Not the person who asked for it, but I think they were suggesting they'd use the API to retrieve information about RSVPs/current state of a planned event. (Perhaps even RSVP on someone else's behalf.)

Any plan for supporting different timezones?

What does federated mean
matteohorvath·vor 8 Monaten
do you plan to put selling tickets into it?

Your tool looks great. You could showcase it on NextGen Tools, a Product Hunt alternative: https://nxgntools.com
