Excited about the direction of this new version.
I really appreciate that the Party with a Local team puts their community first, hosting their own meetups and happy hours weekly. How have you been able to scale this across a global community?
@harryraymond Thanks Harry :) We think hosting these events is a really great thing for bringing the community together and community building.
In terms of scaling these events around the world, we have people within our Community called "Super Locals" who are our most active and engaged (and awesome! :P) users of the app. In various cities (including Amsterdam, Lille, Lisbon and Sao Paulo), Super Locals have hosted drinks and meet ups for the Party with a Local community in their city. There is a Party with a Local Christmas party coming up in Lille for anyone there!
As we grow, we hope to keep finding more Super Locals to help our community continue to thrive.
I remember my episode with @dan_fennessy (episode 288 of The App Guy Podcast). We talked about Party With A Local 1.0. It's great to see your journey going onward and upward. Congratulations on 3.0
Thanks @shawnlow! Yes, it felt like a natural extension for us too with the idea for the new feature being so community driven. Hope to party with you soon!

I remember using this when it first came out and trying to meet up with yall when I was Amsterdam but unfortunately I could not.
@ejameswill Pity that didn't work out back then. You should try the app again wherever you are - you might be surprised how many active users we have all over the world now.

Yeah! This feature is super cool to meet groups of likeminded party people to attend events together or organize them in an easy way! Let's go!

I recently tried it for the first time and I love the simple and clear way you can let others know what you're interested in, as well as how simple it is to discover things going on in the city around you. I always love to hit the same spots the locals hit in the cities I visit, so this app is a must-have!
We are very excited and proud to release events feature, this was something we always thought should be part of our product and likewise our users. We did take care from design, client side performance, introducing and building this feature on golang at backend, which is a new addition to our stack. All and all this has been a great team effort.
Download/update the app! Suggestions/tips always welcome :)
This is a feature we were really excited to add to our community party experience: Events!
From the first sketch to the released build we made a lot of changes in the UI to fit the UX we wanted you to have: be able to gather a crew to join that party you were looking forward to go.
From the client-side, we made the steps easy for you to add on PwaL the events you are attending on facebook or join other groups nearby.
In my opinion, the most exciting part about this is actually the "Join the Party" section, where you can also discover new events happening world wide in a clean & organized list. In the past couple months this is how I'm handling the events I want to go.
