    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 2 hours ago 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)

    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 2 hours ago 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.

    Needs the ability to have a waitlist.

  • dbjacobs 3 hours ago ago

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

    • orbanlevi 2 hours ago ago

      I didn’t think of that.

    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.

    How does it compare to Mobilizon?

    • orbanlevi 4 hours ago 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-bcn 2 hours ago ago

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

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

    • orbanlevi 4 hours ago ago

      Thanks for the feedback.

  • andy_ppp 5 hours ago ago

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

    • orbanlevi 5 hours ago ago

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

      • thedangler 4 hours ago 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.
