Week 7: Event Photos and Post-Event Engagement

We’re continuously thinking about how to keep attendees coming back to the event after it’s over so we transition beyond a ticketing/invite system and into a social network. For now, we’re starting with image sharing.

A retro comic illustration of a red and cream instant camera under a starry sky, a fresh photo with a heart sliding out of the top, polaroids of a sunset and a string-lit party fanned out on either side, a speech bubble with a heart and 12 likes, smiley and heart reactions floating nearby, and “Say cheese!” in orange 3D letters on a red burst.

01 Share your photos

  • Everyone at an event can now add their photos, and they show up in a grid right on the event page.
  • Open the album to swipe through everyone’s photos full screen.
  • Photos stay with the people who went, so anyone else just sees a blurred preview and how many there are.
The Climbing and pints event page before and after: on the left the page goes straight from Guests to Activity, and on the right a new Event photos section with a grid of six photos and a View all link.

02 Like, Save, Download

  • Tap the heart on any photo to like it.
  • The most liked photos rise to the top of the album, so the best shots are the first thing you see.
  • Tap Download on any photo to save it straight to your phone.
The Climbing and pints album and photo viewer: on the left six photos sorted by Most liked, from 4 likes down to 1, and on the right a single photo full screen by Ines Martin with a heart showing 4 likes and a Download button.

03 See who reacted

  • Press and hold a reaction on a comment to see everyone who reacted, sorted by emoji.
  • The same works on the heart in the photo viewer, so you can see who liked each photo.
A comment on Climbing and pints before and after: on the left reaction counts of 3 thumbs up, 1 laughing and 1 raised hands, and on the right a Reactions sheet with tabs for each emoji listing Alex Rivera, Kit Morgan and Ines Martin.

04 Blasts

  • Hosts can now send a blast, a quick text to everyone going, straight from the event page.
  • Pick who gets it, and post it to Activity at the same time so it stays on the event.
  • You can send up to 4 blasts per event, including one after it ends.
Blasts before and after: on the left the Climbing and pints host bar with a Soon tag on the blasts button, and on the right the Compose sheet sending to people marked Going or Maybe, with Post to Activity switched on and a message saying the host is running 15 minutes late.

05 Payouts for ticketed events

  • Hosts selling tickets can set up payouts from their profile settings, with a card that shows exactly where setup stands.
  • Adding a paid ticket to a new event walks you through payouts before it goes live.
  • Stitch doesn’t take a fee on ticket sales for now.

06 What we’re working on next

  • Organizations, so a team can host events together with more than one admin.
  • Photos and GIFs in event comments.
  • A better Stitch on desktop.
