A lot of my friends use partiful for event planning. Is there any open source or self hosted alternative to it? I checked alternative to and couldn’t find anything, even alternative to evite or the like seems lacking.

    Nah you just need to use a provider that has an SMS API like Vonage, Telnyx, Twilio, etc. Many of them support replies too, so you can have something like “Reply with Y to RSVP”

    SMS isn’t too popular any more but it seems like a decent fit for a use case like this, as it effectively gives you nearly real-time push notifications without requiring everyone to install an app.
