It’s tricky I imagine as you have to sell people on the idea then they have to sell their friends on using it. WhatsApp is “good enough” for this task and there are simple workarounds such as say “we meet at 7 at xyz” and whoever can’t make it just doesn’t they come next time or join later.
I suggest finding the type of people or situation where this sort of thing is a real headache for people by asking. The cool thing is you can just ask random people at bars, coffee houses and parties and get some feedback. Read “the mom test” to get an idea of how to approach this. Or in a nutshell don’t tell them about your app at all, find out about their habits and issues around arranging social events.
There is a good chance that this might lead to a pivot or just work on something entirely different. So be prepared to jettison a sunk cost even though it feels painful!
