What It Can't Do
- •Self-hosting requires Linux and Docker knowledge; not a one-click install. 2. Plugin ecosystem is smaller than commercial tools like Cvent or Eventbrite. 3. Only modern browsers are fully supported. 4. The sandbox is for evaluation only and data is periodically wiped.
Use Cases
- Managing academic conferences from call for papers to final schedule
- Internal corporate workshops with registration and check-in
- Visual room booking for organizations with multiple meeting spaces
