I'm making a quick register/login flow when you just want to RSVP for an event. Which looks better? What else would you change?

I made an activity feed kind of thing so you can tell what's going on with groups and events. Come try it out at platform.openmeet.net

Who is working on e2ee data in ATproto now? I've got a user wanting private events, but also have them published to bsky. Is it possible yet, or where can I find progress?

Currently adapting #matrix, the decentralized private chat, into platform.openmeet.net, the decentralized meetup replacement, for events and group discussions. Our prior solution was not working out. :( #buildinpublic

We're building an #opensource alternative to Meetup at github.com/OpenMeet-Team that uses #atproto to keep your data.

#FreeOurFeeds isn't just about bolstering one new social media platform. Our vision offers a pathway to an open and healthy social media ecosystem that cannot be controlled by any company or billionaire.

remember, signal is the only decent dm platform. all the others exist for sharing a signal handle, the way internet explorer is there to install chrome

OpenMeet now has events stored in your very own #atproto PDS as the source of truth following github.com/lexicon-comm.... For now, you can only create or delete events, but will add editing next along with capturing events from the firehose.

In times like these, we need stronger local connections. Come help us build a place to find or create all your local communities and events for free, without being the product #opensource #communitymanagement

Fed up with community platforms driven by profit motives and manipulative algorithms? OpenMeet is built to empower, not exploit, enabling you to create authentic, human-centric community experiences. We're working on using the #atproto PDS to store your data so your data stays yours.

Let's make a Meetup replacement that runs on #bluesky. We're looking for #OSS contributors. github.com/OpenMeet-Team

Request for comments! If you're interested in how events and RSVPs are represented in the ATmosphere, please take a moment to read through this. Please repost this!

We need to fix this problem! We're looking at adopting the AT protocol more deeply in our meetup and facebook groups alternative for just this reason.

Anyone out there want to help build a replacement for meetup.com? Meeting up should be free. Finding community where we live is important. #OSS #opensource #buildinpublic
