Revel

Revel provides a self‑hostable backend for managing events and ticketing with a focus on community needs. It offers APIs for creating single or recurring events, setting visibility (public, members‑only, invite‑only), handling waitlists, and managing venues. Ticketing supports free, fixed‑price, and Pay‑What‑You‑Can options, integrates with Stripe for online payments, and generates QR codes for check‑in.

The platform includes tools for community organization, allowing groups to define membership tiers, roles, and permissions, and to run questionnaires for attendee screening with optional AI‑assisted scoring. Additional utilities such as potluck coordination let organizers track item assignments and dietary preferences.

All features are delivered under an MIT‑licensed, open‑source stack built with Django 5.2 LTS and Python 3.13+, enabling anyone to deploy the system on their own infrastructure without subscription fees. The design emphasizes privacy, data ownership, and GDPR‑compliant export and deletion capabilities.
