Could you elaborate? I'm not a web dev and it's just a landing page in raw HTML/CSS (developed mostly on firefox btw). I intend to improve it but some pointers would be great.
fraboniface··on Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?
Not in the short term, I'm working alone on this and don't know much about decentralized protocols so I can't work on it yet. Also, Weavus is not a social media: there are no posts, just events, groups and their content. So not sure it's as relevant.

Thanks for the kind words! The app only has private events and groups for now, but public ones like on Meetup are definitely the next big step.

I'm developing Weavus (https://weavus.app) as a way to take my events away from facebook. It's a social app (mobile only for now) where events are the main element and the home screen shows your upcoming events. The philosophy is no feed, no ads, no addiction, just your real social life.

The idea is also to merge in a single app many needs of events, like group chats, photo albums, expenses splitting, and I'm planning to add more. I realized groups have similar needs to events, so I added them as well (think small private groups, not massive communities).

All of this is stil very early in development and it definitely needs some more work before a Show HN, but we've found it very useful for weekends and holidays already.

Consider it an open beta, so feel free to give it a try and give me your honest feedback :)

I've been working on Weavus (https://weavus.app/, see my top-level comment in this post) as an alternative to facebook mostly for events, but you can also create private groups where you can chat, share photos and todo lists, split expenses, and more to come. It's just a mobile app for now, and definitely not facebook-grade as a product, but we find it useful already!

I created Weavus [1] as a way to take my events away from facebook. It's a social app (mobile only for now) where events are the main element and the home screen shows your upcoming events.

The philosophy is no feed, no ads, no addiction, just your real social life. It would have been easier to have users sign up with facebook, but I decided the best thing to do was to be entirely Meta-independent. They will undermine anything that threatens The Feed.

The idea is also to merge in a single app many needs of events, like group chats, photo albums, expenses splitting, and I'm planning to add more. I realized groups have similar needs to events, so I added them as well. They're not designed for massive communities though, more like small groups of friends.

All of this is stil very early in development and it definitely needs some more work before a Show HN, but we've found it very useful for weekends and holidays already.

Consider it an open beta, so feel free to give it a try and give me your honest feedback :)
