exactly. Even with meetup, its not perfect for 'I want this specific group to come over.'
In a lot of ways, mid-2000s evite would be perfect -- but there's the spam / nagging side of their business that spoils it.
To be fair, I have no idea how one would monetize my dream events platform.
- em3rgent0rdr 9y agois monitization terribly necessary? The server costs of an open-source type of meetup should be negligible. Hypothetically a lot can even be done with plain email, provided users set up a filter to send all the invites into a separate folder if don't want to get distracted.

Ideally it would have a strong app and desktop version with a standard calendar export... not too far off from facebook today, just omitting their other garbage. It wouldn't be too server intensive, but if people are using it, there's a cost. Also, keep in mind that not everybody is as savvy as the people who typically participate on HN. It should be as simple and minimal as possible.
