API, Please make an API?
I could integrate my RSVP system into it which requires more specific features but could use this to create the base for the event.

Not the person who asked for it, but I think they were suggesting they'd use the API to retrieve information about RSVPs/current state of a planned event. (Perhaps even RSVP on someone else's behalf.)

Do you have plans for adding ActivityPub support in the future? That would be very cool, and having interop with these other FOSS projects will help give things network effects.

How do you plan on handling the influx of garbage? I like the idea, but I’m inclined to think registration of event organizers would be necessary to control the spam.

Yea something like that would be necessary in the long run, or just use the event creation cookie user to moderate the rsvps. (or you can create private events)

This is super cool, going to try using this for an event this week and self-host a server if it works nicely, have been looking for a privacy-first version of Partiful for a while.
API's are always a good thing, weather they are private or not.
I'm assuming easier to spin up a new instance on your own, but this is my personal opinion.
I believe this is the project that has the Rust code (on the GitHub of ATProto)
@smokesignal.events/acudo at main · tangled https://share.google/HG59BdzeJpib7fw5x
I'm wondering though - after creating an event, how does one see the list of who has RSVPd to attend? I can't seem to find any way to see this info.
