There's still no standards for Private Data though, so, pretty limited use at the moment.
We'll take Cactoide out for a spin for our September meetups! I'll open up some GitHub issues if any blockers show up.
Semi related, but has anyone else noticed a massive surge in Meetup comment spam in the last few months? All my local groups are pumping out spam, mostly offering work from home employment opportunities. I keep wondering what has changed.

Meetup was great until it became so expensive to run a glorified calendar+ email list. $180+ a year is silly for small groups. But meetup was awesome for discoverability of small local niche groups. Manual link sharing doesn't help with local groups. The alternative was Facebook groups for free, but has awful discoverability and awful event calendars. But most people have Facebook, so thats the default now. How does…
This is the big barrier to entry for anyone trying to replicate Meetup. It was never about the event organizing software (which really wasn’t that great) it was about connecting your group or event to enough interested, local people that you had a chance at actually getting off the ground.
Every year I pay $39.99 for a one-month subscription for Punchbowl, which allows me to easily manage RSVP's for my son's birthday party. For that price, you get the normal stuff you'd expect and also: - no ads - ability to set each invitee as an adult, a child or an infant (useful when planning food and activities) - ability to group invitees into families, so that any adult in the family can edit the RSVP for any/al…

Every event I've hosted or been invited to was just a group chat on Telegram. Add everyone who is invited, create a pinned message with the details and a poll with yes/no/maybe.
And a poll wouldn't allow me to know which kid(s) and adult(s) from each family are coming.
Trying to do better than Meetup or Eventbrite is setting the bar so low you can hold a limbo contest. If you’re going to vibe code a competitor, I would at least aim to replicate the gold standard.

You should try out Lu.ma - it does all those things for free. I use it extensively for managing rsvps to both private and public events.
