We are really trying to limit friction.
Creating events requires a profile. RSVPs does not.
Also, Stuff invitations can still be distributed on any other platforms with a simple "one-to-many" link.
Hope this makes sense.
Simon, Stuff.

- toomuchtodo 8y agoLinks that can be distributed via any channel and are platform agnostic is great IMHO. You’re then a service on top of any social network (WhatsApp, Slack, SMS, email, whatever).

The best you can do is make it generic and easy to share however people want. Supporting SMS and/or email means you can share this service in the most basic means available, and as long as Social Network X supports link sharing, Stuff will support Social Network X.
- thadjo 8y agoHey Simon. re: friction, I built a little service about a month ago that creates events via email — www.thad.cc You just need to cc the address in an email and it sends invites to all of the people in the email list. I used it for an event of about ~30 and most people added their RSVP. It has chat too, but that wasn't as successful. Email is obviously not the 'coolest', but this approach at least reduces friction. I spent about a month thinking about / building this and would be happy to chat. Edit: kinda funny we both chose pink :)
- stuffhq 8y agoEverything will turn pink ;-) Awesome that we are having same thoughts on invites and friction. Would love to chat. Feel free to drop me an email on simon@stuff.li.
