Apple Invites

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

I organize a lot of events for a rugby team, and our events are now all on Partiful.

Maybe it'll go downhill like Evite and Facebook Events - but for now it's quite good.

How is it funded? That is your answer.

Not everything is in the position or can afford to transitionally tax the whole of the internet itself like big tech.

You're paying for Apple Invites whether you realize it or not. There's immense value in making their platform more sticky.

In a few years you'll read articles about uncool Android kids not getting invited to parties. And that's your answer.

One of these behaviors is way more insidious.
