Rallly
Replaceable in one session with an AI coding agent.
A meeting poll: propose several times, let people tick which they can make, and see which slot wins — the open-source answer to Doodle.
Build a meeting poll. STACK - Astro with a Node adapter, SQLite, no accounts THE POLL - A title, a list of proposed slots, and a random URL that is the only credential - Anyone with the link can respond; the creator gets a second, secret admin link TIME ZONES, THE ONLY HARD PART - Store every slot as an instant in UTC and display in the viewer's zone - Show the zone explicitly beside each time, and let the viewer change it - A poll that shows the creator's times to everyone is the standard bug here RESPONSES - Yes, no or maybe per slot, keyed on a name the responder types - Editing a response requires the same name plus a token stored in localStorage THE RESULT - Counts per slot with maybe weighted at half, and the winner highlighted Include the schema, the zone handling and the response tokens.
What you lose
- A hosted instance with a memorable short link you can paste into a chat
- Time zone handling across participants, which is the only fiddly part
- Reminders to people who have not responded
If you would rather not build
- A message asking which day suits, which still works
