Event categorization

[putorti]

Would love to be able to categorize events to differentiate, for example, between phone banks and fundraisers.

There don't seem to be any categories in the API response. There are tags for each event, but those seem to just be IDs.

I suppose we could do some fuzzy matching on the event name or description. Not sure how else this could be implemented without more information in the API response.

It seems like we can make some use of the official and tags.prospecting_event booleans, but a bigger concern is how to fit it into the UI (particularly mobile).

Is this still open? Can I help here? (I'm looking for some JS codebase to jump into.)

@benbuckman You're welcome to propose/mock up a UI for this. I'm personally resistant to overcomplicating the controls on mobile, but I also haven't put a ton of thought into smart ways of including the categories. There's probably a good way of doing it.
