🚨Experimental Fediverse Event Software🚨

+

{{siteName}}

+

- This is experimental software from Darius Kazemi. + gathio is a quick and easy way to make and share events which respects your privacy.

-

The Fediverse needs an event organizing system, so I've taken the incredibly lovely open source event organizing software gath.io and added my lightweight ActivityPub server to the mix.

- -

I fully expect this to break, and I would love early testers. I'm especially interested to know how this interacts with people who aren't on Mastodon.

Directions

- -

Hit the green New Event button and put in your event details. Your event will have a nice looking home page and it will also have an ActivityPub-compatible account and profile. It will give you the account handle for the event, which will look something like @aB3_2HI@{{domain}} and can be shared with people on the Fediverse who want to follow your event.

- -

When a person follows your event, they'll follow a feed that updates whenever you update event details. After a person follows, this software will DM the person a poll (aka an ActivityPub "Question") where, at least in Mastodon, they can vote Yes/No/Maybe. If they vote Yes, then they will be registered as an attendee on your page. No and Maybe don't do anything yet.

- -

Also when you update your event (changing any of the fields), you send a DM notification to every user who is registered as attending.

- -

Further info

- -

I'll publish the source code soon, but it's in crummy and undocumented shape right now and I'd rather see it perform "in the wild" before I do an official release.

- -

If you'd like to chat with me about this software, I can be reached at @darius@friend.camp.

- -

What follows is the documentation from gath.io.

-

You don't need to sign up for an account - we just use your email to send you a secret link you can use to edit or delete your event. Send all your guests the public link, and all your co-hosts the editing link. A week after the event finishes, it's deleted from our servers for ever, and your email goes with it.
