There's url field in the events table, but it's not used for anything. It's being seeded, but url is not displayed on any event page. It cannot be it added when creating event via UI, nor it can be edited.

Should this be kept, removed? It's different field than streaming_url.

Edit. Sorry, it actually is displayed only in the event dashboard.

It can't be used in production, if we are going to do something about it, I vote delete it.

if we need to add feature for something like it, we can add it back it shouldn't be difficult to add back, I hope 🤔

@gikf the events.url was intended as an optional field for situations where there's a larger event or conference. So, this url field is not the same as the streaming_url field.

It's no uncommon for larger events to have a separate promotional website that provides more details, but to then direct attendees to a tool like Chapter or Eventbrite for the event registration.
