Show HN: Cactoide – Federated RSVP Platform

[macintux]

How do you plan on handling the influx of garbage? I like the idea, but I’m inclined to think registration of event organizers would be necessary to control the spam.

[orbanlevi]

Yea something like that would be necessary in the long run, or just use the event creation cookie user to moderate the rsvps. (or you can create private events)

[verdverm]

Smoke Signal has a similar system on ATProto (no affiliation)

I believe this is the project that has the Rust code (on the GitHub of ATProto)

[orbanlevi]

Ohh nice! I'll look into it.

[atulvi]

There are several offensively titled events. No moderation whatsoever. This is likely 100% vibe coded in a day.

[orbanlevi]

Ofc, don’t have to moderate every randomly submitted event, but I am planning to add a moderation page to delete or filter offensive events.

[righthand]

This is cool looking but you should note in the front page that it has ical, et al. calendar features.

[orbanlevi]

Thanks for the feedback.

[roshannarma]

This is super cool, going to try using this for an event this week and self-host a server if it works nicely, have been looking for a privacy-first version of Partiful for a while.

[james-bcn]

Needs the ability to have a waitlist.

[orbanlevi]

Noted.

[dbjacobs]

Any plans to add the ability to have waiver/release forms for an event that need to be signed?

[orbanlevi]

I didn’t think of that.

[mrtesthah]

How does it compare to Mobilizon?

[orbanlevi]

It's similar, but not that good as Mobilizon, Im focusing on simplicity with an improved UI and experience.

I'm assuming easier to spin up a new instance on your own, but this is my personal opinion.

[james-bcn]

Mobilizon looks interesting but their docs results in a 404, which doesn't inspire confidence.

[rpearce9]

I quite like this, have just spun up a quick self hosted instance to play with.

I'm wondering though - after creating an event, how does one see the list of who has RSVPd to attend? I can't seem to find any way to see this info.

[orbanlevi]

In the detailed page of the event, there is the rsvp list.

[zestyping]

Please, consider a better name. It's really hard to promote something with a name that no one can pronounce or spell.

[andy_ppp]

Very cool, is it possible to add voting for multiple dates too?

[orbanlevi]

Right now nope, but I'm planning to add new features.

[hacb]

Any plan for supporting different timezones?

[imvetri]

What does federated mean

[matteohorvath]

do you plan to put selling tickets into it?

[doppelgunner]

Your tool looks great. You could showcase it on NextGen Tools, a Product Hunt alternative: https://nxgntools.com
