For people looking for an alternative to Facebook events that isn't spammy like evite and the like, I recommend checking out https://gath.io

It requires no login, basically you provide an email address, you get a unique editing URL, you make a nice looking event form, and people can RSVP there. Your event and all related info is deleted from their DB 2 weeks after the event is over.

Gathio

An easier, quicker, and much less privacy-invading way to make and share events

Privacy tip: all URLs are public (there's no password protection or anything) so for an event where you might not want to put your home address up there, you can send out your address along with the link via whatever private communication channel you have. So I emailed my gath.io RSVP link to invitees and included my home address in the email.

Sorry I meant your data is deleted ONE week after the event is over, even better.

@darius its a bit weird that it says "respect your pricavy" but at the same time all event are public. But I get the intent :p

@ragekit Privacy is a word with too many meanings to be useful

@darius

Anyone have a link to a FAQ for this? Curious about privacy policy, etc.

@RussSharek It's simply run by an individual as a service to people. There is no formal privacy policy that I'm aware of, use at your own risk, etc. You can email Raphael with questions at [email protected]

@polychrome Looks like it just went down! It is possible that my post about it caused that...
