Sat, 22 Jul 2023 23:57:00 +0000 <div>I often face the issue of being indecisive on how to spend my evenings or weekends. Be it laziness, not having any ideas/knowing where to start or difficulty in deciding between the many options that come up in event sourcing platforms.</div><div><br></div><div>A platform where once added some personal interests/details and date/time, it sends like 3 curated suggestions of things to do. Once one of the suggestions is accepted, it takes care of arranging it for the user. The suggestions can be sent on a regular cadence if there's a subscription model in place.</div><div><br></div><div>Basically, similar to one of those meal-kit services (BlueApron, HelloFresh, etc..) but for recreational activities.</div><div>I wasn't able to find a similar platform, but there's an endless numbers of websites for finding events or finding restaurants. Personally, when using them I find it a very time consuming and tedious process. Also because of the huge amount of options it makes it hard to choose one.</div><div>I'd like some feedback on where the holes in my thought process are, what issues I might face if I end up pursuing this and how to find out if there's demand for something like this. Thanks!</div> 5 points posted by aggravating109 /problems/394-automatically-arrange-leisure-activities-events-recommendation 394 Tue, 14 Jun 2022 01:50:00 +0000 <p>I was speaking to my 19-year-old sister recently, and she was telling me about how she and her friends create a WhatsApp group for any social event they plan together. I thought this is a little crazy, since those groups just become stale soon after the event is over, and WhatsApp gets filled with unnecessary items.</p> <p>Then I realized, that this is the younger generation, many of whom have never been on Facebook. I'm fairly confident that many in this group are not even aware that something like Facebook Events even exists. I'm 26, and my friends would always use Facebook Events for planning such events.</p> <p>I know that there are also many others, who want to leave Facebook, but benefit from using Facebook Events to plan events.</p> <p>I have a good feeling that it would be great to have a simple platform that helps create and manage small events, like birthday parties.</p> <p><br></p> 3 points posted by perry /problems/371-a-simple-event-management-platform-events-web 371 Mon, 04 Apr 2022 18:02:00 +0000
