Inability to add events that may not, as yet, have a venue #20

Open ryanbateman opened 7 years ago

A venue is currently required in order to add an event.

Use case: a venue may not yet have been decided or confirmed though the event is occurring. For cases where there's a 'secret' location, to be revealed at a later time, this can even be intentional.

Desired outcome: ability to add events without a venue, as yet, or clarity within the UI to handle this use case.

It's also annoying that the form blanks out if the venue is invalid after clicking Add event. Thankfully, I could use the back button to get it back.

That's a little tricky, but doable. Right now, I use reverse-geocoding on the venue to determine all the places (city/state/country/etc) where the event belongs. Seems like a fringe case, though? If there isn't even a venue decided, seems like it might be too early to add it to Upcoming. I'd love to hear real-world examples you have in mind.

And the form blanking problem is super high priority, issue #21. Sorry about that.
