Easier festival scheduling with your friends! Key features: 1) Simple, powerful scheduling experience 2) Create groups and view aggregate schedule data in one place 3) Track recent schedules you've viewed
Hey everyone! Just wrapped up the v1 of FestiPlannr, and I'm excited to share. This tool aims to make planning out music festival schedules with friends a more streamlined experience than it is today.
Having heard stories from friends about how they plan their schedules and having gone through this process multiple times myself, it felt like there were still some unmet needs from existing tools:
1) There's an important difference between indicating which artists you'd generally be interested in seeing and which artists you HAVE to see. 2 states (ie "interested" or not) feels insufficient — there has to be at least another state to help users fully express their intent.
2) A core part of this experience is sharing who you want to see with others. Creating your own schedule is fun but sharing your schedule/viewing schedules shared with you has to be as lightweight an experience as possible. There shouldn't be any additional steps required beyond copying a link and clicking on it.
3) On top of #2, viewing data across multiple schedules in aggregate is incredibly useful for actually planning with others, so there should be an easy way to capture this info in one place.
I built FestiPlannr to address these needs, but beyond that, I just like building stuff. Working on this project has been a fantastic experience and I'm excited to keep making it better. Should you end up checking it out, I'd love to hear what you think — thanks!
