Making Meetup Even Better
We're always making Meetup better. For 14 years, we've been growing, evolving and making Meetup a little better every day, with every release. This year, we've kicked off one of the biggest endeavors in Meetup's history to make Meetup even better.
We're remaking the Meetup platform, infrastructure, and dev tools. Our objective is to empower our engineers to be more productive and love using our dev tools to make and ship product faster and better than ever before.
When we kicked this off, we did a lot of brainstorming, research, talking, listening, prototyping, and drew a lot of diagrams. The very first diagram we drew and took a picture of was this (raw, not doctored) photo:
What did we do when confronted with an unexpected rainbow shining right through our core platform as we drew up ways we’d re-architect it? Well, we of course named the remaking of Meetup the Rainbows & Unicorns project.
As we progress, we’ll be posting more specifics around what we’re prototyping, learning, and making as we move towards Rainbows & Unicorns. We hope that by sharing what we’re learning along the way, it helps others who might be doing something similar.
This week, we’re all busy with one of our quarterly Meetup-wide hackathons, aptly themed: Rainbows & Unicorns: futurizing Meetup. Stay tuned for more about what we’re hacking and making -- it’s guaranteed to be quite colorful and fun!
