The invitation link, clearer for people without the app

When you get an event link and don’t have the app, the page now says straight away who’s inviting you and that you reply right here, no app or account needed. It loads faster, and before you reply, it only shows what helps you decide.

One sentence to start. Right under “Alice is inviting you” and the date: “Alice is planning this event with AmidAmi. Reply right here, no app or account needed.” Then where, what the host wrote about it, and who’s coming. “Add to my calendar” only shows up after an “I’m in” or a “Maybe”, and the app is only offered at the bottom of the page, as two discreet links.

Faster, with a better preview. On a slow connection, the page is ready about twice as fast as before. In WhatsApp, the link preview now says who’s inviting you, and a cancelled event or a link that no longer works says so right in the preview.

Fewer slip-ups. Tapping “Send” twice no longer sends the host two requests. “Open in AmidAmi” no longer appears where it wouldn’t work, like the built-in browser of Instagram, Snapchat or TikTok, and the app is only offered where it can be downloaded. With an AmidAmi account, “I already replied” now says that the code only arrives if the account’s email address is verified.

Underneath, nothing changes: replying through the link sends a request, and the host decides who comes.

One welcome email, just one. When you create an account, it arrives once your email address is confirmed, and it tells you how to get started: create a first event and invite your friends with a link.

None of this requires updating the app.
