#Smithereen update.
- Events! Yes, events! They're a subtype of group with additional fields — namely, start and end times. There's no field for location yet. There will be one at some point in the future.
- You can tentatively join an event. This is my first custom activity type (sm:TentativeJoin).
- There are reminders for events like for birthdays (you can see one on the screenshots).
- There's a calendar that shows your events and friends' birthdays.
@mike there are no invites for now. That's the next thing on my list.
There's no privacy either. Anyone can join any event freely.
What do you mean to follow a group? These aren't groups. Birthdays are links to people's profiles, and among them are events. VK has had this exact calendar UI for ages.
And no, you don't need to join a group to interact with it. If you can see something, you can interact with it. To do otherwise is silly and counterproductive.
very nice.
just btw:
When you implement the location later, it might be worth to look at
https://docs.joinmobilizon.org/contribute/activity_pub/ and also support schema address – redaktor does so too.
Although you can also view the location lat/lng on a Map …

would be cool if you join TUE meeting –
also working hard;
shamelessly attaching some screenshots which is the column preview for Event and Place in redaktor (details open/closed, this is just the preview for 'object'-part of the ui, i don't have the calendar done in large yet, also thinking about the relations event/place, with `location` 1 event can have multiple places but 1 place can also have multiple events ["upcoming"], as in schema)
