This is what your friends see now when you share a CaughtUp event. Not a splash screen. Not a promo. An invitation that feels like you—your event’s flyer, your details, your energy.
We built this because coordinating time together is emotional. Invitations aren’t transactions; they’re micro-moments of trust. When the preview looks personal, people don’t just click—they imagine themselves there.

Why this matters: invitations are emotional 💛
Every shared link carries intent: “I want you there.” Generic previews blur that intent. Personalized previews sharpen it. The more clearly your invitation speaks, the easier it is for friends to say yes.
This update moves CaughtUp closer to our goal: being the best solution for coordinating events—and more importantly, creating more opportunities to spend time with people who matter and build real relationships.
And to be clear: this isn’t about getting more people on CaughtUp. When you share a link, it’s about making your life easier with a central place for all your opportunities—so invites feel personal and logistics feel simple.
Before vs. after: the clarity shift 🔄
Before, previews felt generic—accurate, but emotionally flat. Now, they carry the moment you’re inviting people into.
No one wants to send something generic. It’s personal—and now your preview looks the part. ❤️
- 💬 Fewer clarifying messages: the preview answers the basics at a glance
- ✅ Higher quality “yes” responses: people see the vibe, not just the info
- 🔗 One link, all set: a central place to manage the plan and the people
What changed (and why it’s effortless) 🛠️
We added smart server-side rendering that detects preview bots and serves a clean, metadata-rich snapshot of your event—flyer, title, and details. For people, links still open in the app or on the web. For you, nothing new to learn. Just share.
Value to you: more time together, less back-and-forth 🤝

Where we’re headed 🔮
We’re iterating toward previews that adapt to context—host relationships, interests, even time of day—always with the same aim: make coordination feel human. Little improvements like this add up to the best way to coordinate time together.
