Not many fans of The Office I see :)

Why tip someone for a job I'm capable of doing myself? I can serve food, I can drive a taxi, I can and do cut my own hair. I did, however, tip my urologist.

The way I tested it was to create Share link, then navigate to it in an incognito window on Desktop and try to RSVP. I am still unable RSVP without login. Perhaps it works without login if you explicitly invite a certain email.

I tested it with a sample event and I don't see any way to RSVP without logging into an Apple account. Maybe I'm missing something?

Whoa, I'm doing the exact same thing right now for my son, and using Gmail as well.

Blessings to you for this warning. I'm going to do something about changing the location of this mailbox asap.

In the late 80s/early 90s when I was kite-battling, it was common to use these glass coated strings. I haven't played in decades, but it does seem quite dangerous now that I think about it as an adult. I'm glad the practice is banned.

We live in a different age today in terms of safety awareness. I vividly remember playing with powerful fireworks during Diwali celebrations. We'd light them in our hands and hurl them skyward moments before they burst. Today the mere thought of this makes me shudder, and I can't even imagine my children playing this way.

In my youth, I participated in "kite fighting," a popular activity in my home country. During these battles, opponents maneuver their kites, attempting to cut each other's kite string through tricky aerial tactics. We used special kite strings coated in thin glass. The victor's prize was getting to keep their opponents kite. Around January, during the kite festival, there would be hundreds of kites in the air all dancing or playing with each other. A magnificent sight.

Congratulations on the launching to real users. I know how challenging that is and especially when your users are kids, I can imagine the pressure is much higher.

One piece of feedback on your use of the term AI. While adding the term "AI" to the description of /most/ products seems to increase their appeal, in products that are for children, to me, it reads like this product will be buggy at best and ends up decreasing the appeal. Words like researched, "smart", advanced, cutting-edge etc may be better suited. This is just one person's reaction, of course. I could be wrong--perhaps to non-engineers, reading "AI" on kids' products now has a more positive reaction.

A "real" demo video was exactly what I was looking for as well. Since the concept is so novel, seeing the product in action would increase my trust, and willingness to buy significantly. My skeptical side made me wonder if demos with real children had been left out on purpose so it doesn't make the product look bad - probably not what you were going for.
