I love Events/Local, but would get off it in a heartbeat. I've looked at your app. Only Copenhagen and New York events are available. Do you plan to extend to other cities soon?

The whole point of Facebook events is that it's already integrated with a social network so it's easy to invite people. I dislike the whole concept of Facebook but sorry, but I find this idea really counter intuitive? Creating social events online but not through a social network... *edit, so I can provide some constructive criticism. Maybe integrate this with social networks such as Facebook or Twitter (which I gues…
Facebook events is one of the only things keeping a lot of people I know on facebook. But, yeah, it's hard to go to something else cause of the friction. What we really need is something that is as integrated into fb events as fb, but _also_ allows people who aren't on fb to find and keep track of and RVSP to events. I think facebook API's don't really allow you to have that kind of integration for a third-party thin…
Funny enough, this is the main reason I don't use the Going/Interested buttons on Facebook anymore. I'm not a fan of having my activity broadcast to everyone on my friends list.
Social network calendar in similar vein: https://dockitcalendar.com/discover Feel free to offer feedback, this is just a side project I tinker with that I'd be happy to check in on if people are finding it useful.

IDK, I think there's room for improvement in this area. I've had an idea rolling around in my head for a couple of years but I've never pursued it: I lived in NYC for a few years, and every so often I'd find myself wandering around the city on a weekend afternoon, wondering what I should do. Ideally, there'd be an app where I could simply open it up, look at a map, set it to the current time or maybe within an hour o…
I think that's because NYC is one of the few places that an app just like you describe would make any sense. :) In many places, the list of "things happening this hour on a weekend afternoon within 10-20 minutes of where I am right now that I might possibly be interested in" approaches zero. On the other hand, if there is a huge list of events happening close to you soon at any given time, the problem is "that I migh…
This led me to spending something like 30-45 minutes trudging through various websites, the local paper, etc. I eventually found about 3-5 different options.
Simply broaden the definition of "things happening" and the number is definitely not zero.

We are really trying to limit friction. Creating events requires a profile. RSVPs does not. Also, Stuff invitations can still be distributed on any other platforms with a simple "one-to-many" link. Hope this makes sense. Simon, Stuff.
Links that can be distributed via any channel and are platform agnostic is great IMHO. You’re then a service on top of any social network (WhatsApp, Slack, SMS, email, whatever).
If you can't communicate your service to others, how do you expect others to use it? The best you can do is make it generic and easy to share however people want.
Supporting SMS and/or email means you can share this service in the most basic means available, and as long as Social Network X supports link sharing, Stuff will support Social Network X.
