Current situation:
By default all the events should be visible by all the people, even if they don't have a Couchers account

ToDo:
Make a checkbox in the create/edit event page, so by checking it, the user can make the event only visible for people who have an Couchers account

missing: wording

This should be unchecked by default. Speaking from experience, most event organizers are not comfortable sharing details of their event with the entire internet.

I definitely think we should give organizers the option to share the event with people even off-platform, but this should be an opt-in option rather than opt-out.

hmmm I guess depends on the experience... if you are from a small town you will have (being generous) 4 people with couchers account near you, and 2 are not very active 😅, if we make it only visible for couchers profiles, doesn't that block creating more activity in the platform? (which is one of our biggest issues AFAIK)

plus people would know the platform (icon, branding...) anyway, I guess we can do like couchsurfing? (showing the event but not who participates, or how many, neither the description until you log in)

maybe a short text for the SEO and showing that's a real event? 🤔

Also, from a safety perspective, a feature like this should be opt-in, not opt-out because otherwise people could be sharing their personal address (or other private, safety-sensitive information) with the entire internet without realizing it (if they overlook the toggle option that is checked by default). I think this is the most compelling argument for keeping it unchecked by default.
