Is there really no good “just the events” app or site?

Personally I hear about the things I want to attend anyway, but I have the same feeling of not knowing nonetheless.

That could be a killer app if Facebook gives it love.

Sure, but they lack users.

If one of my friend groups introduced a new platform, I’d have that one + Facebook. If five of my friends introduced new platforms I’d probably have 6 platforms.

Aside from that, a lot of the alternative platforms aren’t really better than Facebook. I’m on discord for instance, but they also make a living of my personal data.

Like public events? or your private events inbox? I think Eventbrite/Meetup has a browsable public event list.
