Magic links, zero accounts, privacy-kept events.

Creating events

• Channels are optional. Use them to group events for a community.
• Suggestions appear as you type; picking one reuses that channel.
• Start/end times respect viewer timezones; durations render automatically.
• Private events stay hidden even if the channel is public.
• Descriptions support basic Markdown for richer details.
• Toggle “Require admin approval for new RSVPs” if you want to approve guests before they show up.
• Use “Close RSVPs” to pause new submissions or set an auto-close time that flips the toggle for you.

Channels & visibility

• Public channels show up on the homepage and at /channel/<slug>.
• Private channels are hidden; only people with the slug can view /channel/p/<slug>.
• Public events inside private channels hide the channel badge to protect the slug.
• Channel privacy never overrides an event’s own privacy.

Channel Naming tips

• Names automatically become web-safe links: we lowercase them and swap spaces or punctuation for hyphens.
• Avoid generic names to prevent collisions—add city or group hints.
• Private channel slugs are the secret; share them carefully.

RSVP privacy controls

• Guests can hide their RSVP from the public list; organizers still see it.
• Each submission returns a magic link to edit, toggle privacy, or delete.
• Public counters show total visible guests; private RSVP counts are summarized.
• When approval is required, new RSVPs start as pending until the host approves or rejects them.

Magic links & storage

• Magic links are shown once and can be copied with inline buttons.
• Your browser can remember admin/RSVP keys locally to surface “Open Admin” or “Edit your RSVP.”
• Clear saved keys anytime from Preferences or via “Forget this key” on event/RSVP pages.

Themes & polish

• Pick between Catppuccin Latte, Mocha, Frappé, or Macchiato in the Preferences menu.
• The selection persists per-device; respects system dark mode until you override.
• Copy actions surface toast confirmations so you know the link was saved.

Event capacity limits

• Some events include a maximum number of attendees.
• When that cap is reached, the Yes option is temporarily unavailable and you'll see a “full” note.
• You can still RSVP as Maybe or No; those do not reserve a seat.
• If space opens, the Yes choice reappears automatically and you can change your RSVP back.
• Maybe is just a signal—it does not hold a spot for you.
• A simple waitlist may be offered in the future; for now the flow stays predictable.
• Hosts can close RSVPs entirely (manually or on a schedule); existing guests can still edit or delete their entry.

Closing RSVPs

• The event owner view includes a “Close RSVPs” toggle—flip it any time to pause new submissions instantly.
• Set an optional auto-close time while editing an event and the system will flip the toggle for you once that timestamp passes.
• Times honor the timezone you entered for the event; behind the scenes they are stored in UTC so the close happens as soon as the backend sees that moment has passed.
• When closed, new guests see a clear message instead of the RSVP form, but anyone with an existing magic link can still edit or delete their entry.
• Reopen RSVPs by turning the toggle back off—scheduled close times clear automatically after they run so you can pick a new one.
