Next, the entire navigation of a group is ridiculous. Everytime I open this dropdown I get confused. Some links are related to me; eg. managing my relationship with the group. Some links are upsells and point to a feature landingpage. Some links point to pages that are just more navigation links. 🤷

And last but not least is the core feature of their product: events. Somebody forgot to remove a boolean check I guess, as a `0` is displayed in the list. Why do I ever want to generate an event with AI? (In our example it suggested a meetup where we talk about React and Vue)

On the the "copy past event" link just leads to the list of past events. And there you have to find a "copy" button in a dropdown again. 🤷 We will definitely explore using @eventy.io for @laravel.swiss for future meetups.

Meetup is pretty broken and I hate it, no doubt about that. Still, it’s one of the largest platforms for meetups and I found a lot of cool people and communities with it. I think even with all the bugs, a community will still benefit from the members and you maybe should not switch entirely from it.

Ugh. It's such a confusing product, even as a simple attendee.

It’s amazing that nobody has managed to launch a viable replacement.
