...Why?
The competition I see for this is partiful (https://partiful.com/ https://partiful.com/), which is free, handles invites for folks without accounts (I don't have one, I am invited to parties via text message), and is clearly the inspiration/competition apples for this app given the visual similarities.

- in_cahoots 2y agoSimple: I’ve never heard of it until this thread. I get probably 20 birthday party invites a year from Silicon Valley-type families, and they are all using Evite or Paperless Post. There was a time when I would have looked for alternatives or rolled my own solution, but living busy toddler life means I pick my battles and grumble about it on Hacker News :) I think they both used to be cheaper, but now they’re focused on profits. Same as Partiful will do eventually.
- joshuamorton 2y agoAmusingly, I've never heard of either of those. Partiful is much more oriented towards less "professional" parties, it's replacing what was the facebook event segment of a lot of my social circle event organizing. I'd be pretty peeved to spend any money on such a service, and many of my friends simply couldn't.
