Just keep an eye on: https://events.indieweb.org/
Would love to see some yarn support for events :D Here are some tools for inspiration:
@darch@twtxt.net Gath looks like the right tool for the job here. Why can’t that be used? Why do we have to build anything event-specific in yarnd at all? If you can link something, isn’t that enough? 🤔
@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com and @prologic@twtxt.net Yes I’m also all for using existing stuff that works instead of building monoliths. Not completely sure what you meant with:
iCal feed/bot thingy
Having a twtxt feed from a service like Gath would be a nice addition to get notified about events in your timeline. I’m sure that would be possible to build and add to gath
There are already support for masondon and Friendica, so why not twtxt

@darch@twtxt.net Well we’ll unlikely ever add support for ActivityPub – Buy maybe we can build our own “events” thing
@prologic@twtxt.net using something like Gath for the event pages and RSPV handling makes a lot of sense. Gaths email model makes it easy for anyone to sign up.
Then we just add some event UI features to yarn like:
- click “Ceate event” in the yarn UI
- takes you to gath.twtxt.net and create event
- post public link to event to timeline of the user or if pod-events user
@darch@twtxt.net I think this could work quite well actuallly. Wiith IndieAuth now supported as a provider and consumer support coming soon this is quite doable 👌
