roadmap

here's what I'm up to with the app in the forseeable future. for the time being, I'm working on this in my free time. so be patient.

planned features

• accessiblity improvements!! this is a big one. I'm not a pro at this, so I'm learning as I go. if you have any suggestions, please let me know!
• filter groups by geographical distance
• add address to groups (with lat/long)
• private groups (where membership is also private)
• "full" status for meetups
• max capacity for meetups
• waitlist for meetups
• reaction to posts
• notifications

in progress

• profile pages
• pledge boards for meetups (who brings what? who can help with what?)

completed

• uploading a group image

ideas for the future

I haven't fully thought these through yet, but here are some ideas I definitely want to explore:

• a mobile app
• a chat feature
• activity feed
• follow / befriend people and see their groups / meetups
• discussions in meetups
• uploading images / image gallery
• monetization for the platform. the features as they are now will always remain free! it might be either a really cheap one-time fee (maybe 50$?) or a really cheap, optional subscription model (like 10$/yr) to support the development and pay for hosting. no ads, no selling of data, ever. open for suggestions!
• a way to find people with similar interests
• polls in meetups
• calendar view for meetups
• time slot finding for meetups, like doodle or noodle
• print view for groups, with qr code for easy sharing

non-goals

• charging fees for meetups. you can use lu.ma for that which is really great btw, cheap and pretty.
