I realized 3 years ago Events is one of the strongest features keeping people on their Facebook accounts (besides Messenger). At least in towns with strong music scenes and going to shows is important to individuals. I started brainstorming features a competing service would have but unfortunately due to my lack of web development experience it never came to fruition. I might still have my notes somewhere. If I remember Ill look for them when I get home later.
I think you have way to many words on your home page. This is a service catering towards events so that is what I want to see when I first come to your site. If I wanted words I would look them on your site, the service should be able to speak for itself. Also, someone already mentioned it, but your domain and your name aren‘t very good. Stuff makes me think im about to be sold something. "How did you hear about this event?" "I found it on Stuff" doesn't work very well imo.
Being able to follow event creators and venues to learn about uncoming shows, and to follor my friends to know what events they are interested or going to.
Opt-in notifications based on GeoIP to find out "Hey, my neighbor is having a yard sale!" Obviously, having the option to create private events that don‘t notify the neighborhood as well.
Being able to post on the events to ask questions would also be an important feature.
Ill double check my notes later to see if there's anything I didnt mention.
Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback and time. Much appreciated.
We have had bunch of conversations re. call-to-actions vs. words vs. events.
Initially we had loads of events on the frontpage - and everyone just thought we were a new version of Timeout without the option of creating your own private invitations.
Feel free to drop me an email on simon@stuff.li if you want to chat further or share notes.
