Ask HN: Is there a way to use Facebook events without using FB's main website?
I found myself on the verge of quitting Facebook a few times lately, but two things keep me from doing it. A) Messenger. Too many contacts tied to that. I've solved this with the standalone apps. B) Events. In the last two years I've found so many events from Facebook that I'm scared for my social real life if I'll quit. And no, I've tried to stay away from it as a trial and I've missed amazing nights and concerts.
I currently have no solution for B). Does anyone know if there's some app that singles out the event section of Facebook? Is that even possible with Facebook's APIs?
- nerdponx 9y agoYou could just stop using all the other features. Ignore tag requests, ignore comments, disable notifications, etc. That's pretty much what I do at this point.
- camillomiller 9y agoIt's hard. You get sucked in very easily. I was thinking about a platform that just uses the API to list events and that's it.
- tylorr 9y agoI've been wanting this as well. I don't have a Facebook account so I rely on talking to close friends/coworkers in person but it's definitely lacking.
