Hi HN, one of the app’s creators here. We wanted to show you guys Happening - an app that makes damn sure you have fun with your group of friends :)<p>Interesting to you guys should be that it’s a hybrid app that uses HTML5 for almost everything. Our users don’t seem to mind: it’s been downloaded almost a million times already in our (tiny!) country the Netherlands.<p>We’d really appreciate your feedback: please join the special ‘HNers’ group by visiting <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;happening.im&#x2F;t&#x2F;ARHMUENYF" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;happening.im&#x2F;t&#x2F;ARHMUENYF</a> - or take a crack at developing your own plugin on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platform.happening.im" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platform.happening.im</a> . Thanks!

I like the concept a lot. I feel like it needs a bit more polish but I can&#x27;t put my finger on what it is. Maybe there is too much color or the interface is too busy. Try adding some padding.

Cool to see howmuch you guys have grown. I&#x27;m from Belgium and it became a mini hype here ~1.5y ago. What&#x27;s your current DAU nowadays? And do you run any underlying framework?

I really like your document explaining when and when not to develop apps for happening: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platform.happening.im&#x2F;docs&#x2F;introduction.html#when-to-use-happening" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;platform.happening.im&#x2F;docs&#x2F;introduction.html#when-to...</a>

Nicely animated &quot;Loading...&quot;.<p>( Firefox user here, with messages like &quot;The Application Cache API (AppCache) is deprecated and will be removed at a future date. Please consider using ServiceWorker for offline support.&quot; in the console when trying to load the site. Chrome is fine. )

This is really interesting. It actually reminds me a lot of the chinese messaging app weChat.<p>Accidentally, weChat announced their app platform yesterday, which allows developers to develop apps run inside weChat messenger.

Cool to see you&#x27;re still at it!<p>I think I wrote one of the few first real third party plugins when this was hot in Holland last year.

HTML5 for the frontend, right? Backend?
