Radius, a hyper-local groups-and-events site, reached 148 points on Hacker News on September 20 with explicit landing pages for 'Meetup.com alternative', 'Eventbrite alternative' and 'Facebook Events alternative', and a free tier pitched as setup in 60 seconds. There is no named team and the AI angle is not the pitch. It is worth logging because it is the shape of solo-built replacement that keeps appearing in categories where the incumbent's moat was network effect rather than features, and Meetup's organizer pricing is the thing being attacked.
