I Built a Free Offline-First Event Operations Platform at 13. Here's Why the Architecture Is Different.

Most event software is built around a fantasy.

The fantasy is that when you are running a real event, the WiFi works, your volunteers have personal accounts, your devices are dedicated, and nothing goes wrong at the door. Every major platform, Eventbrite, Whova, Cvent, is architected around that assumption. The server is the source of truth. Everything routes through the cloud. If the connection drops, the system stops.

I have watched that assumption fail in real environments. Lines back up. Staff switch to WhatsApp. Someone pulls out a spreadsheet. The software that was supposed to help becomes the thing people work around.

That is the problem I built PlanIt to solve.

The Wrong Abstraction
