The most important screens are https://www.ferris.app/assets/images/screen_home.png and https://www.ferris.app/assets/images/screen_form.png

What do you think it could be a good way to show what it looks like without friends invited? I recognize that simply being the first to install demands a incredible leap of faith.

Being able to use the app with no friends but still send a “weblink” to the event page would be incredibly useful for onboarding.

I recognize that is a lot of work but it would greatly reduce the leap of faith required for the first user and subsequent additions to a friend group.

The sharing of event links would hugely increase natural growth.

Easy growth is the name of the game with any network effect based product.
