An Actually Social Network—Built on WordPress
Plan real events. Connect with real people. Share real life.

What Is PartyMinder?

PartyMinder transforms your WordPress site into a private, human-centered social network built around gatherings. It helps people plan events, invite friends, and build community—not followers.

Instead of endless feeds and viral noise, PartyMinder offers a quiet, meaningful layer for real-world interaction.

Features

  • 🎉 Event Creation – Hosts can create events with title, date/time, location, and image
  • 📧 Guest Invitations – Send personalized RSVP links via email
  • ✅ RSVP System – Guests respond with preferences like dietary needs or allergies
  • 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Dashboard – See events you're hosting or attending, all in one place
  • 👤 User Profiles – Guests manage their own preferences and contact info
  • 🌐 Federated Sharing (Optional) – Public events can be posted via AT Protocol
  • 🧩 Page-Based Architecture – Uses dynamic content injection; no blocks, no shortcodes
  • 🧼 Zero Admin UI – Everything happens cleanly on the front end

Architecture

  • Automatically registers custom pages: /event-create, /rsvp, /dashboard, etc.
  • Uses the the_content filter to inject custom templates based on page slug
  • Forms use AJAX and WordPress APIs for smooth interaction
  • Fully theme-compatible—uses your existing site styles and layout
  • No admin configuration or editor work needed

Why It Matters

Social media has become performative and extractive.
PartyMinder is an “actually social” network—where people:

  • Know each other
  • Share food, stories, and time
  • Build trust through repeated in-person interaction

It’s a digital tool for analog joy.

MVP Goals

  • Create and manage events
  • Invite guests and collect RSVPs with preferences
  • View upcoming events on a personalized dashboard
  • Optional integration with AT Protocol (Bluesky, etc.)
  • Clean front-end experience with no admin overhead

Installation

  1. Upload the partyminder folder to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate via the WordPress Admin → Plugins
  3. Visit Pages → All Pages to customize your auto-created routes (optional)
  4. Start creating and hosting events!

Requirements

  • WordPress 5.8+
  • PHP 7.4+
  • A modern theme that respects content templates and spacing
