Shipped

• 0

  Anonymous handles

  Auto-generated @user_xxxx handle on signup. Identity stays hidden until a match.

• 0

  Map-pinned groups & discovery

  Groups are defined by Mapbox-pinned activity places. New users browse a map at /discover by location + radius and join groups whose region overlaps theirs.

• 0

  Interest groups with quorum sizing

  Create a group with pinned places, target size, and optional creator approval.

• 0

  Drag-to-select weekly availability

  Visual calendar grid; paint windows by dragging across a day column.

• 0

  Vennly time matching

  Surfaces the largest window where ≥ ½ of the target size is free.

• 0

  Member-driven event proposals + voting

  Anyone can propose; a majority yes-vote locks in a match.

• 0

  External chat handoff

  Once matched, drop in a WhatsApp / Signal / Discord invite link.

• 0

  Owner roles & gated joining

  Groups have one or more owners who approve join requests, manage members, and (optionally) approve events. New members automatically thumbs-up already-approved events. Owners can switch event approval to automatic with configurable yes/no thresholds.

• 0

  Group photo wall

  Per-group shared photo wall. Members upload memories from past events; uploaders and group owners can remove. Deliberately scoped small — no comments, reactions, or feeds. Vennly is for coordinating, not browsing.

• 0

  Scheduled events with RSVPs

  Separate the rotation menu (activities the group CAN do) from scheduled events (specific date/time). The app suggests time windows from overlapping availability + an approved activity; members RSVP, and once enough confirm, the event auto-locks and a chat link can be shared.

• 0

  User-level default availability

  Set a recurring weekly availability on your profile. Each group inherits it, with per-group overrides and filters (e.g. weekends only for one group, evenings only for another).

• 0

  Graded availability (available / tentative)

  Mark blocks as solidly free or only tentative. Matching prefers full overlaps but can fall back to tentative when a quorum can't be hit otherwise — and the resulting event flags who's a maybe so the group knows the confidence level.

Later

• 0

  Rough-area cross-group matching

  Match users across compatible groups based on proximity / region.

• 0

  Soft reputation

  Reliability score on the persistent handle (showed up, voted, etc.).

• 0

  Proposal time limits

  Auto-expire stale proposals; confirmation deadlines before matches lock.

• 0

  Promoted events (monetisation)

  Hosts can boost an event into matching groups by area / demographic.

• 0

  Publish confirmed events to Facebook

  One-tap publish a confirmed Vennly event to a connected Facebook Page or Group via the Graph API. Today the button is visible but disabled — needs a Facebook app + per-user OAuth + page selection before it can ship.

• 0

  Google Maps venue enrichment

  Pull ratings, photos, reviews, popular times, and richer descriptions from Google Places to supplement the Mapbox + OpenStreetMap data we already show.

• 0

  Event & attendee ratings

  After a locked-in event, attendees can rate the event itself (would do again, vibe, value) and give lightweight kudos to other attendees — feeding the soft reputation score on each handle.

• 0

  Real events API integration

  Pull live activity feeds from Eventbrite / Ticketmaster / Skiddle / Meetup as proposal candidates, in addition to Mapbox places and manual proposals.
