My wife is in a position (board chair for a co-op) that results in her sending out a lot of invites to events. Evite has kinda been the go-to in her social/co-op group for ages, but man it suuuuuuucks these days. Ads everywhere, annoying patterns, and lacks a bunch of nice features that this seems to have.

Very happy to see this

Evite was hot for awhile - totally gone downhill. Same as meetups. Tough to make those things as paid businesses which is probably necessary to keep them operating well (or at least take VC money and try and make a return).

Luma and Gemini have very similar logos, it’s kind of off putting

Luma drives me nuts at conferences, I often end up invited to events without an address because they expect you to subscribe to their calendar feed rather than letting me put an entry in my own calendar.
