Thanks for the constructive feedback - I've addressed a bunch of stuff this week already but still some feedback including yours to go through!

> Also, the website has strong "vibe coded ui" vibes. I have no idea if that's the case or not, but the colors, the cards, the "x people online" pill, all just scream llm-ism, which makes me less likely to trust it.

It's likely my colour preference and the fact that tailwind is the CSS framework of choice for vibe coded UI's these days. Dark mode is likely also contributing to that feel but I'll be adding a light mode at some point as well.

> would like if the member map defaulted to my location

> Profile should have an edit button versus totally separate pages for profile and edit profile

> Custom social links would be nice, would love to have my github there

Great suggestions; consider these done (soon!).

I do need to fix the open in sidebar button - problem is the users are paginated to avoid loading them all at once so if they're not in the loaded list, this issue happens - need to find a better way around this. Thanks for flagging though!

Btw, anything in particular you'd like to see in a self-hosted version? Would you be using it for an individual group, or want to host multiple groups?

The Pro tier for organisers is all I have planned at the moment, for large groups or organisers who want more features. No plans for any ads.

An actual good idea! I'm keeping a note of this, thanks!

Not yet! I'm very interested in both, though - something I'm looking into. Stay tuned!

Yeah, I've had a bunch of recruitment agencies and similar companies try to create groups - I'm mostly managing to flag those and keep them down with a combination of auto/manual moderation.

Regarding the messages - that's one reason I've opted not to have user-to-user DMs. You can DM organisers of a group, but all messaging outside that is public (on activities and groups for example).

> works really, really well with LLMs!

..and humans too! But yes, completely agree - if you stick with Rails' conventions, at least!

Thanks for the report! Should be fixed now :)

> I signed up and immediately pinned me in the UK

Thanks for the feedback! Did you by any chance set your location to London on sign-up? If you check the groups and activities page filter there are 5-100km distance filters.

Thanks! Yes, that's planned- a reputation score of some sort would be fairly easy to add, I think.

Thanks for the great feedback - much of which I agree with! If you think the UI is bad now, you should have seen it in 2024 :)

For context, I think many of the decisions I've taken have been due to a lack of activity to surface. I completely agree that there needs to be an /events page, but it doesn't make sense with the low volume of events right now (IMO, at least).

Fair points on the landing and groups page - I've tried to address some of those issues tonight.

> you could have a + button with a modal to draft it and only hit me with the login wall when I try to post.

Not something I'd considered, to be honest! I usually get annoyed when I fill out a form only to find I need to sign up to finish the process - maybe others prefer that? I've gone and added that for groups and activities (well, when my CI finishes). Events are dependent on a group (for now at least), so that's a task for tomorrow, I think. Thanks for this suggestion!
