DOA
When I did this almost 2 years ago with Midjourney, people came at me and started harassing me. It was just a party invite but people hated that I used AI. I guess I just needed to wait until the gatekeepers or a rich white man to do it for it to be socially acceptable. The pain from these AI luddites was real. I have strongly negative feelings for how Big Tech manipulated everyone into attacking everyone who was doi…
It's always nice to see some first-party apps from Apple[0], but historically the "iPhone-only social networking" hasn't been very successful — iTunes Ping or Game Center haven't been a huge hit, while group messaging in iMessage has only gained some traction within the US and virtually non-existent almost everywhere else. --- [0] One can even say "first first-party party app" in this case :)
I'm in my mid-thirties and most of my friends have ditched Facebook. I didn't really realize this until when I used it to create an event for a house party... I was somewhat surprised that only 2 people out of 15 even saw it. I ended up resorting to good old text message and that worked, but it was tedious. Not sure how popular this will become, but having a social-media-less event invite/broadcasting system would be…
Looks like an Apple version of Partiful?

Here friends just send a message on WhatsApp. I do not know anyone who has hosted a house party of 79800 people so that they are struggling with this. But then again I guess some geographies have it more complicated, isn't it?
This indeed causes problems when wanting to create a quick ad-hoc group for a party invitation etc., if at least one of the invitees is not an iPhone user.

Since Apple was too lazy to make it into a standard, it will probably go the way of App Clips. Niche idea, too few users to adopt it and no stakeholders with enough control to make it popular on other platforms.
What's wrong with "create a Whatsapp group and invite all your friends there, and if they don't care they just mute/leave"?
For me it would be ... I don't use Whatsapp and I don't know many who do. Can I send invites from Whatsapp and get responses from people who don't use it? Honestly I've never received one.
RIP Partiful
Well, Partiful is free, available on Android, and doesn’t require an iPhone or iCloud+ subscription to use. In contrast, this seems more exclusive. For now, Partiful lives to fight another day.
