When planning an event with various people, it’s hard to know when and where would be the most collectively convenient for the attendees. Recently, in trying to solve this problem, I made a spreadsheet in which each invitee would answer how convenient each option was to them: 0 meaning they would not be able to attend, and 1 meaning they definitely could attend.

I was very happy to see my friends immediately took the principle on-board, and we were easily able to settle on the most convenient option.

It’s a bit awkward having to make a spreadsheet for every event, and it requires every participant to have a Google account… so I wanted to try turning this concept into a website. The result of which is:

JustMeet.io

You can organise events and invite whoever you want, and there is no account creation involved. When you make an event, or submit a response, you get a unique link which allows you to make edits. You can save that link somewhere to ensure you always have access – but the code is also saved as localStorage for convenience.

I think there’s lots of improvements I could make to this. Any suggestions are more than welcome…
