A booking bot for popular restaurants

I grew tired of being front-run by people (or perhaps other bots) who do not sleep. So I built a better bot and open-sourced it to level the playing field. Within a week I had a reservation for four at my restaurant of choice. Feedback welcome, enjoy!

A booking bot for popular restaurants launched on April 4, 2023 with 5 votes, #2,314 of 4,853 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

    A few weeks ago I realized i was spending way too much time trying to write quality posts for Twitter. So I decided to look into scheduling tools which could help me automate my writing. I tried a few, but none of them satisfied me. Either the interface was way too complicated or the features i wanted were just not there. Finally, after some time I gave up… and instead I decided to just do it! I hacked up a quick prototype in a weekend. Tried it out - it worked!! Mostly.. I fixed some bugs, made a nice UI, and now (3 weeks later) I think I built one of the nicest scheduling tools out there.
