An events and ticketing app built around the parts group chats and screenshots always lose — a real feed of what actually happened, not just a QR code.

The problem
Finding out about events and actually going still runs through group chats and screenshots — the flyer gets buried, screenshots get faked, and by the time you're at the door a scalper has doubled the price. None of that is a technology problem exactly, but all of it is friction a product can remove.
The other half: once the event happens, it's gone. A photo dump in someone's camera roll, maybe a story that expires in a day. There's no real record of what a night was actually like, from the people who were actually there.
The approach
Tickets are capped on resale at face value instead of left open to scalping, and check-in is a single QR scan designed to resolve in under half a second at the door — the two moments (buying, getting in) that cause the most real-world friction got the most direct fixes.
The feed is follow-based, not algorithmic — you see moments from events your circle actually went to, not a ranked-for-engagement timeline. Every post carries real comments, not just a like count, so the after-event record reads like people talking, not stats.
Organizers get verification, one-tap check-in, and event features built to keep 100% of face value on ticket sales, funded by a small transparent fee at checkout rather than a markup baked into the ticket price.
