Unfortunately, I have to hope this doesn't see widespread adoption. If this becomes the standard it will just add to already existing social pressure to get an iPhone in the US.

That’s the point: get an iPhone or be left out. But don’t worry, there will be a web version…

This is small but a cool way to integrate those various features across different apps and services. Like adding the Music playlist is not something I would ever use by my daughter, a teenager, probably would. Cute.

Does anyone know how this interacts with guests using Android? All I see is "anyone is able to respond" but that was already possible with literally anything else.

They use a web link.

I really needed this, I have not used Facebook Events in a while though that is the only way to easily engage and plan: the "ease of use" (as lazyness of not having to deal with many other issues) is way better than Calendar invites. I'll try to use it on my next event with my friends, as I am avoiding as much as I can Meta, and Calendar / ical are not the best to deal with this kind of event! :)

Why not Partiful? It's already widely adopted, has all the features you need, isn't owned by a big tech company, doesn't require an account, and is multiplatform.
