I built presently.live for better weekend planning and insights
Hi HN , my partner and I were looking for easier answers to our weekend planning ritual, such as: - When is our next free weekend? - What weekend activities have we got planned? - How busy/available are we to travel / host? Especially at the start of each year, when we're trying to plan flights and/or commit to hosting friends & family visits, I struggled to find a usable overview of multiple months that wasn't cluttered with weekdays. Our social events are overwhelmingly centered around weekends and we wanted a view of the year ahead that reflected that. How about just a line…
I built presently.live for better weekend planning and insights launched on January 20, 2024 with 23 votes, #964 of 4,437 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Presently.live is a weekend planning tool that connects to Google Calendar to show an at-a-glance view of upcoming weekends throughout the year. It displays 52 boxes representing each weekend, color-coded to indicate whether they are free, potentially busy, or definitely busy. The tool is designed for couples and groups who want to easily identify available weekends for travel planning, hosting visits, or social activities without the clutter of weekday information. It helps answer key questions like when the next free weekend is and how available people are for commitments months ahead.

Plan Harmony2022 · planharmony.com · ▲64Hi HN, I built Plan Harmony because trip planning—especially with friends or family—kept turning into a mess. We’d juggle group chats, scattered Google Docs, random links, and always miss something. I wanted a tool to help structure an itinerary, suggest smarter options, and keep everyone on the same page—without feeling like work. The idea: most travel tools either hit you with generic “Top 10 things in Rome” lists or dump everything into a calendar/map with no real structure. I wanted something in between—something that helps you actually plan a coherent trip across days, cities,…
