How to

Create your first event.

Hosting starts as an empty draft. The platform opens an inline editor and saves every change as you type. When the basics are filled in, the bar at the bottom of the page goes from grey to ready.

1. Open the host flow.

Visit /host, or click Host an event in the top right of any page on the site. The platform creates a fresh draft for you and lands you in the editor.

2. Pick a cover.

The cover sits at the top of the page (full-bleed on phones, square on desktop). Use the buttons under it to upload a photo, pick a pattern, or choose a flat pastel. A real photograph signals a real person; the pattern and pastel options keep the page on-brand if you don't have one yet.

3. Type the title.

Click the headline area under the cover and start typing. Plain over polished. Titles that sound like a brochure get treated like one.

4. Set the date, time, and place.

The date and time card lives under the title. Tap each pill to open a picker. End time is optional but worth filling in.

Below that, type a street address into the location field (the platform geocodes it and drops a map pin), or paste a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams link to make it an online event.

5. Write a description.

Optional but useful for context: what to bring, dress code, whether kids are welcome. A line or two beats five.

6. Set the event options.

The Event options card sits below the description. Each row has a label, an icon, and a control on the right:

Public (toggle): on means listed; off means link-only. Capacity: blank for unlimited, or a number to start a waitlist. Allow guests (+1s) with a Max guests dropdown when on. Approve RSVPs: on means RSVPs come in pending until you tick them off. Recurrence: pick a frequency for a regular thing. Collect emails: lets RSVPers opt in to your mailing list.

All of these can be changed later. Pick the defaults that fit your event and move on.

7. Save is automatic.

The bar at the bottom of the page shows Saving… while you type and Saved · just nowthe moment your last edit lands. There's no save button.

8. Publish.

The bottom bar lights up its Publishbutton once you've filled in title, date, and location. Click it. The platform shows a confirmation card with a quick last-look preview, then submits the event into the moderation queue.

You'll get an email confirming approval (usually within a few hours), with the same edit link you're already using. Keep that link somewhere private, or sign in and manage the event from your dashboard.
