I'm developing Weavus (https://weavus.app) as a way to take my events away from facebook. It's a social app (mobile only for now) where events are the main element and the home screen shows your upcoming events. The philosophy is no feed, no ads, no addiction, just your real social life.

The idea is also to merge in a single app many needs of events, like group chats, photo albums, expenses splitting, and I'm planning to add more. I realized groups have similar needs to events, so I added them as well (think small private groups, not massive communities).

All of this is stil very early in development and it definitely needs some more work before a Show HN, but we've found it very useful for weekends and holidays already.

Consider it an open beta, so feel free to give it a try and give me your honest feedback :)




Love the idea and I see multiple people working on what I hope can be the future of meetup.com. Good luck!


Thanks for the kind words! The app only has private events and groups for now, but public ones like on Meetup are definitely the next big step.


Any plans to support ActivityPub?


Not in the short term, I'm working alone on this and don't know much about decentralized protocols so I can't work on it yet. Also, Weavus is not a social media: there are no posts, just events, groups and their content. So not sure it's as relevant.
