Hey Jon!First off -- thank you so much for all this feedback! I'll address some of the concerns below, but I want to emphasize an important point for everyone -- we're not going to leave any developers hanging as we work through this transition together. I encourage anyone who is concerned about the timeline or features to contact us (this forum works, but we've also set up a form for this purpose). If anyone feels like we're not meeting your needs or the timeline is too short, then definitely let us know and I promise to work something out that works for you.
Repeating EventsYou're criticism of repeating events is 100% valid. And you're spot-on that repeating events hasn't been one of Eventbrite's strong points, which is why we're excited about some upcoming improvements to the platform (not API specific). Although it hasn't been entirely rolled out (an announcement is pending), we've recently revamped how we handle repeating events across Eventbrite (this is a separate team and separate rollout strategy). After this launch, the new API will display the separate events in a repeating series (so, all events created from today forward will be returned with their repeat schedule as separate events). We have deeper support of repeating events planned for API V3 (beyond the basic inclusion), so stay tuned for announcements (while writing this out, I've come to understand how confusing this concurrent API and repeating events changes are -- I'll follow-up this week with more information in this forum).
Deprecation WindowThis is great feedback. We know that there is tons of diversity among our thousands of active V1 developers, and we're committed to coming up with solutions that work for everyone. In the forum and the email, I've included a form to give feedback -- I promise to you, and anyone else who needs it, that I'll work with individual developers when necessary to come up with a plan that suits them.
Client LibrariesAll of the V1 client libraries were developed and supported by the community, we think this is great and something we want to support, but we also received a lot of negative feedback for promoting unofficial libraries that might not be complete/stable/maintained (even when we gave the proper disclaimers). It's a tough balance that we're trying to strike here. Still, thanks for calling this out -- I'll spend some time thinking about how we can play a better role in this.
Field Expansion / SuppressionThis is great feedback as well, and something we've spent a lot of time thinking about. We're set-up to add this in the future although it's something that we don't currently support, but we're planning on improving this. Stay tuned for updates on this!
Again, all of the feedback is genuinely appreciated. I want to make sure you, and every developer on the Eventbrite API, feels like we're taking care of them -- so if this doesn't address all of your concerns, then feel free to reach out to me directly via private message.
