Easier festival scheduling with your friends! Key features: - Simple, powerful scheduling experience - Create groups and view aggregate schedule data in one place - Tracks 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!
outside lands is coming up here in SF - you should try and reach people on instagram!
Yes! Would've loved to have this back in my own festival going days. Tried it and it seems so much better than looking at a a flyer or constantly going back to the schedule and figuring out who to watch next and where. The whole experience seems pretty well thought out. And I can totally see this becoming a standard integration for music festivals to do when they release their lineup. Hope that soon you'll have festivals signing themselves up and putting up the schedules themselves on the app! All the best!
I’m excited about the ease of scheduling with this new tool. The recent schedule tracking feature is a nice touch. Best of luck with the launch!
This is fantastic idea for coordinating with friends for festivals. The group creation feature should make planning much smoother. Great job on the launch!
It would be awesome if there was an option to set reminders for specific performances or events.
I can’t wait to try out this festival scheduling app! It sounds like it’ll make coordinating with friends way easier, especially with features like group views and recent schedule tracking.
This app should come with a “Find My Lost Shoe” feature for all those muddy festival grounds!
I think this tool is going to be a hit with festival-goers. It seems well thought out and useful.
This festival scheduling tool looks pretty handy. It’s got everything you need to keep track of your group’s plans without any fuss. Nice and easy.
I was hoping this festival scheduling tool would simplify things, but it feels a bit clunky. Creating groups and viewing schedules isn’t as smooth as I expected, and the recent schedule tracking seems buggy. Might need to look for other options. 😕
Awesome job on your app’s release, @famousjenga ! The fast performance is impressive, and I’m eager to try it out with my setup.
The recent shehdules feature seems handy for keeping track of past plans. I can see this being useful for planning group activities. Keep it up!
It looks like it will make scheduling events way easier. I am interesting to know How does it handle overlapping schedules within a group?
The feature to view schedules in one place is a great idea. It should really simplify organizing events with friends.
Where was this in the summer of '15.... but seriously this is clever. Do you also track if someone has seen a particular artist before and how many times? Might be cool to see if someone HAS to see an artist that they've already seen numerous times that indicates the artist is great at live performances.
Cheers and congrats on the launch @famousjenga!
Hey James,
How does it handle conflicts when multiple friends want to see different artists at the same time?
Have you considered adding features for discovering new artists or getting recommendations based on your schedule?
Congrats on the launch!
Such a cool idea and the UI looks super sleek! Are you planning on adding some little reminders or something to ping a group of friends a few minutes before it's time to switch to another stage and not miss the next cool band? 😎
