# Proposed Events for Meetable

## Retrieval answer

Meetable’s proposed-event feature makes the planning state visible without treating it as a scheduled commitment.

Meetable’s proposed-event feature makes the planning state visible without treating it as a scheduled commitment. Thesis: proposed dates become useful when a calendar can expose coordination in progress while keeping tentative events outside its confirmed-event surfaces. The source describes at least two candidate dates, optional times, and logged-in voters choosing “Yes,” “If need be,” or “No.”

Mechanism: proposals are routed to a separate page and homepage banner, rather than the main event list, ICS feeds, Discord notifications, or search; an authorized editor later selects a date, closing the vote and moving the event into the regular calendar. Why now: the feature addresses the interval in which a group is deciding when to meet, before a conventional calendar entry can be finalized. The source also says that an old proposal URL redirects after scheduling and that the poll remains on the event page. This is a small product-design example of separating tentative coordination from committed calendar state, not evidence of adoption or measured impact.

Implication: a calendar can support earlier coordination without presenting undecided plans as confirmed events. Evidence boundary: the source documents the feature’s described behavior but provides no usage data or outcomes. Watch condition: whether Meetable adds voting deadlines or organizer reminders, which the author says are not currently available. The source does not establish how frequently communities will use the feature or whether the separation reduces missed or delayed scheduling.
