People love using similar products but resist paying. You’ll need to either find who will pay or create additional value that’s worth paying for.
Build but think about differentiation and monetization.
You're entering a market for event organization apps where users appreciate the functionality but are hesitant to pay upfront, which means you're in the "Freemium" category. There are 15 similar products, suggesting strong competition but also validation that the idea resonates. The medium engagement (average of 6 comments per product) indicates that users are interested enough to interact and provide feedback. Since similar products need to be very differentiated to stand out, you need to think carefully how you can provide value to your users. This will likely be by providing the best user experience or features that your competition are lacking. Based on the feedback given to your competitors you should look into integrations with social media and virtual event platforms.

Hi all,I've spent the year developing an event management and ticket-selling app. While it's still in its infancy, it has enough features to be useful for a variety of events.Thanks for taking a look!
Hello there, We're trying to develop a map-based event-finding platform for people to explore nearby events.On the following URL u can find our MVP: https://wiwo.world/map.The thing is, we are not sure how to find early adopters.We have lots of ideas how to develop the platform, but would like to do it with active feedback from the users.Some of the feature ideas that we have:- Build-in resell marketplace for tickets for people who cannot attend an events- Users' own event facilitation- Events live streaming and PPV- Community building (go together with friends or have no friends to go with and you search people through the platform to go with)- Our own build-in navigation system to the events- Personalized notifications/newsletter for events like the ones you have attended or added in favorites- VR/AR event attendingThanks in advance to those who will check out our platform! :)Best Regards, Kalo

Hey everyone in the USA!I'm developing a map-based event discovery platform that helps people find unique and exciting events in their city or area. I imagine that it could help young locals who are searching what is to be attended in their area & tourists who are visiting and want to find what to do in the area.But before I unleash it on the world, I need your help!One major pain point that I am trying to solve is information overload and difficulty in discovering relevant events nearby. Traditionally, people might rely on social media, local newspapers, or word-of-mouth to find events happening around them.These methods can be:Scattered: Information is spread across different sources, making it time-consuming to search. Unfiltered: Showing a large amount of events, not necessarily relevant to individual interests. Limited information: Often lacking key details like event descriptions, schedules, or ticket options.So my MVP address these issues by:Aggregating: Bringing together event information from multiple sources in one place. Personalization: Using filters and user preferences to recommend relevant events. Visualization: Displaying events on a map, allowing users to discover events based on location and proximity. Detailed information: Providing comprehensive descriptions and links to purchase tickets.What other features I plan to build: Build-in resell marketplace, own event upload, live-streaming, PPV and more.However I find it difficult to get any feedback on the platform. I've tried paid ads, posting to other Early Adopters websites, personally reaching out to people, who I think are target users, but do not get any meaningful feedback.So I'm eager to hear your honest opinions:What works well in the platform?What needs improvement?Are there any features you'd like to see added?Your feedback will be invaluable in shaping the future of Wiwo!P.S. For now only US users are needed, as other won't find events in their areas :)
Users report issues with adblockers affecting map visibility and functionality, confusion over event locations, and browser compatibility problems. There's interest in AI for event data parsing and requests for better accuracy in event listings. Some users are happy with the idea and execution but suggest UI improvements and more features. Challenges with maintaining event sources and regional availability are noted. Users are reluctant to disable adblockers and there are reports of errors, particularly for non-US locations.
Users criticize the product for requiring an AdBlocker to be disabled to access the map, with frequent requests to do so. The event map has issues with unclear locations, inaccessibility, and compatibility with browsers like Safari and Brave. There are concerns about privacy due to unnecessary third-party IP usage, and the platform's visibility is inconsistent. Users also note incomplete event listings, a lack of explanation for the map page, and a need for better filters and color icons. The monetization strategy is questioned, and there are reports of functionality issues on mobile and in non-US regions.
Users are impressed with the one-click deployment and ease of use for non-tech individuals. They appreciate the passion behind the project and its feature-rich nature, despite some broken links in guides. The domain cost is considered reasonable. There's interest in the project's goals, its backstory, and improvements over the creator's previous project, Attendize. Hi.Events is seen as a flexible and customizable alternative, inspired by Tito. Questions were raised about the choice of PHP and Laravel for the backend, with the latter chosen for its ecosystem. A beta cloud version is anticipated.
Users reported issues with the product, including broken links in the 2nd and 3rd guides, high domain costs, abandonment by new owners, missed opportunity for a complete rewrite, poor code quality making customization difficult, and cumbersome coupon management and ticket stages aggregation.

Maybe you could find it?Hint: Search there, where no one is searching and go there, where no one is going. Hint2: Do it on a PC!Play It Loud!

Hey HN!I just released v1 of WhoWasAt. A tool that that auto-applies for networking events on Luma and Eventbrite.The workflow is as follows: 1) Paste a link to the master google sheet with all events outlined. 2) Answer unique registration questions 3) The tool will apply to all events and add them to your calendar.It’s a pretty simple tool but as someone who goes to a lot of events it’s been saving me almost an hour every day.Cheers, Tillman
