▲ ▼ A simple event management platform
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.
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.
I know that there are also many others, who want to leave Facebook, but benefit from using Facebook Events to plan events.
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.
Hey Perry
I built https://ferris.app to solve this problem.
Older folks use Facebook, younger ones Snap, but those apps are basically to consume content and the main focus is not events or activities.
Ferris is focused on planing activities with your best friends
- Spontaneous activities like a ☕ coffee on the next break
- Blurry ones like going to the 🍿 movies someday/somewhere next month
- Repetitive ones like going 👟 running during the summer
- Planned ones like a 🎸 concert this Friday
FEATURES
- Free plan (receive unlimited activities, send 8 monthly) Paid plan ($9.99 yearly)
- No ads, no data selling
- Indie
- Invite only
- Privacy-minded
Because of this, I had the idea for how to solve it. I recently I finally started spending a few hours, here and there, putting together an MVP. So glad to say that it's ready for testing and to earn some feedback!
With this finally out there, I hope to learn if there's a market for Inviteable. It's very similar to Facebook Events, which I know gets plenty of use, so at the very least, I would think the market exists for certain groups.
I hope that Inviteable can help fill in the gap, and is a platform that provides a simple UX that accomplishes the basics exceptionally well.
Check it out at https://www.inviteable.app .
That's actually built really good , but is it open to the public , and more importantly , are you getting users ?
