@jason, huge congrats on this one! River feels like the infrastructure layer for IRL community engagement we didn't know we needed. Would love to know: how are you planning to drive long-term host retention vs just one-off event spikes? As someone who’s helped scale community-led growth for tools in both productivity and creator spaces, I have seen this inflection point come up early, especially once the novelty wears off. I'm super curious about how River plans to turn hosts into long-term evangelists.

@destraynor Thank you so much, Des! Means the world!
Product Hunt
Respect tools like this that bring people IRL. We used to host massive community gatherings at Product Hunt, some organized by us but the majority were community-led across dozens of countries. It was critical to building the brand in the early days.
