meetup[.]com must be one of the worst products I've used in a long while. This is the "invoice" we received after extending our subscription. - discount is all wrong (3000 USD off?!) - conversion to CHF is wrong (Sure this might be a taxamo issue, but still. 🙄)

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.

Another nitpick, why "with AI" qualifier? Nothing makes me nope out of a product faster than using AI as the value add itself. Just solve the problem, idgaf if it's AI or a room full of chimpanzees on typewriters.
