Dear Makers!
Many Web 3.0 and crypto projects are quite hard to understand. The money and excitement about the tech often overshadow the usefulness and grand ideas seem too big to grasp; I’ve felt pretty lost most of the time.
But "enough talk": Together with @mtsarah, I took a deep dive into the subject matter, and we would now like to present to you our own product approach on the decentralised nostr protocol - something especially useful for non-cryptophile people:
🗓️ RSVPlease
A simple RSVP Solution for receiving your event confirmations and keeping track on who is coming.
Try it out for free, open source and without registration on www.rsvplease.me
🎒What does it do:
- You can create an Event and share the Link with your friends
- Your friends can RSVP to the event and/or write messages to the message board
- Everybody can see who is joining and change their status if required
The application is built without it's own backend server and relies only on the nostr protocol, a decentralized and cencorship resistant protocol that has social communities as a usecase.
👾How does it work:
- nostr uses relays from the community for signaling (basically a wide decentralised backend)
- you can send signals with structured information via these relays for clients to recieve
- the signals have certain types (kinds), so that clients know what to do with them
- we use the kinds 40 and 42 for events, RSVPs and messaging
- everytime an interaction is done with the event, a signal is sent out to the network and other people who care about it (= open the app) can see the interaction
If you are interested in the technology you can read more about it on nostr.com
We are looking for feedback from the crypto and non-crypto community, we are thankful for every advice and opinion we can get!
Thank you.
Uhh the idea was great initially, but then I read that this is on some sort of blockchain… Doesn't that mean that all the information there is public and accessible by 3rd party? E.g. the invitees names, the event address, etc…? That'd be a big no no for me
@rogeroba hey, fair enough -> I see the functionality similar to public Facebook events around 2011, everything was public then as well. I added the texts to educate participants to be careful with private information, but yeah, feedback is correct!
@kingromstar Overcommitment is often an issue, if I do a Party I message a bunch of people I would like to join but then I often forget on which channel I invited whom, so I often don't even know exactly how many people have planned to come. Sharing a link is much easier. I plan to do private events as well, I just don't put my address in but rather say my house or my office so that people know.
