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

Luma and Partiful are really good.

This Apple thing is going to turn into a "green text" social signalling thing all over again. If you have an Android, you won't be invited.

More scummy Apple social engineering bullshit. Kids that already hate on those having Android colored text bubbles are going to bully each other even more. And of course kids need the latest iPhone, too.

Apple is playing into this brilliantly and it's disgusting.

This green text thing only happens in the US. Nobody really uses iMessage elsewhere.

It shouldn't be allowed in the US. Lina Khan was going to put a stop to it, but tragically that didn't reach its culmination.
