Very cool, is it possible to add voting for multiple dates too?

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

Right now nope, but I'm planning to add new features.

thedangler2• 8 months ago

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.

righthand• 8 months ago

This is cool looking but you should note in the front page that it has ical, et al. calendar features.

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

Thanks for the feedback.

How does it compare to Mobilizon?

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

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.

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-bcn2• 8 months ago

Mobilizon looks interesting but their docs results in a 404, which doesn't inspire confidence.

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.

dbjacobs• 8 months ago

Any plans to add the ability to have waiver/release forms for an event that need to be signed?

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

I didn’t think of that.

macintux2• 8 months ago

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.

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

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)

nrhrjrjrjtntbt• 8 months ago

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

roshannarma• 8 months ago

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.

james-bcn2• 8 months ago

Needs the ability to have a waitlist.

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

Noted.

atulvi• 8 months ago

There are several offensively titled events. No moderation whatsoever. This is likely 100% vibe coded in a day.

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

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.

rpearce9• 8 months ago

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.

orbanlevi10• 8 months ago

In the detailed page of the event, there is the rsvp list.

matteohorvath• 8 months ago

do you plan to put selling tickets into it?

hacb• 8 months ago

Any plan for supporting different timezones?

zestyping• 8 months ago

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

imvetri• 8 months ago

What does federated mean

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