I really appreciate the feedback, it's exactly what we're looking for!

The feature ideas are all great and I couldn't agree more with the UX points you made -- I'm hoping we'll be able to fix most of them in the coming weeks. Thanks again :)

Can't overstate how much we appreciate this type of feedback, it's exactly what we're looking for! Broadly speaking, I agree on all fronts. There's definitely a lot of UI/UX work to be done, but we wanted to get the MVP out as soon as possible so that we could get feedback like this. Some more specific comments on each of your points:

1) I agree, we're definitely still trying to figure out the best balance between the map and the list view. That being said, we've found that causes are somewhat unique in that, to a lot of people, geography matters more when it comes to civic engagement than it does for other types of events. With that in mind, we're looking to add ways for users to customize their experience as much as possible, i.e. by being able to toggle between a list view and the map, adjust the width of the sidebar, etc.

2) Completely agree.

3) Meetup has a great onboarding process.

4) Fully agree!

5) That's a good point, there are definitely ways to make the filters more intuitive. Appreciate the feedback!

6) Absolutely, the search bar is incredibly basic right now but we figured we'd still get it out there. In the coming weeks, we'll add the ability to search by causes, event types (ie 'protests'), key words, and more.

7) That's a good idea! Definitely agree that a core challenge with an events platform is making it easy for each user to see the most relevant/interesting content, as opposed to showing them everything.

Cheers!

That's awesome, thanks Susie!

That’s fair, but we figured folks here could still picture what our platform would look like in their area and share any feedback/suggestions!

That being said, we’re hoping to expand our coverage soon, it’s just a matter of having the resources (or user generated content) to cover enough of the activity in any given place. We also figured some of you must be in nyc ;)

Thanks August, really appreciate it! Love the idea of proximity notifications and agree with volunteering, we’re definitely looking to add more opportunities in that area (there’s a lot to work with)
