We have beta-launched a meetup management SaaS and would love to hear your feedback

Hi everybody,

my brother and I have been working on this project for a while now: we wanted an alternative to Meetup.com that had a free plan for smaller groups, and was a bit more organizer-oriented.

We are under no illusion of competing with Meetup since it has an extremely large user base, and in many aspects a great product. However, we do believe that we can be a good fit for meetups looking for a simpler and cleaner solution where they can take part in deciding about new features.

Some of the thoughts and ideas that guide us:

• We'll always be offering a free plan for groups of up to 50 members
• We'll always be offering an unlimited number of co-organizers in all of our plans
• We'll always want organizers to be the owners of their data, i.e. we'll do our best not to lock users to our platform by allowing exporting of data wherever possible
• Meetup is a huge product company and sometimes organizers feel like they're not being heard - we'd like to to listen to our users and work with them to help us shape the product
• There are alternatives to Meetup, but at the moment none of them seem as comprehensive and up-to-date.

The current app is in an MVP, feature-limited state with a couple of test groups and events created, but we do have many cool new things planned. We first wanted to get some feedback, whether positive or negative!

We'll be offering 3 months of our Plus plan (up to 500 group members) for free to people who would be interested in checking out the app with larger groups. Feel free to contact us if you're interested!

Here's the link to the app: https://blinkmeet.com

Thanks in advance!
