After several years of being dissatisfied with existing group event tools (Meetup, Facebook events) we decided to build our own.
This will be a self-hosted Docker container deployed to the cloud with a one-click and then configured by the owner. No coding required.
Your organization can host an instance of Chapter under a sub-domain of your website, such as chapter.sierraclub.org or chapter.womenwhocode.org.
All of an organization's user data will remain under their control.
Our Vision statement provides more details on the reasons for Chapter.
