My first web app. Shiftfrog.com

I've spent the last couple weeks working on getting this up and running. It's my first web app. The use case it is designed for is for shift workers who work x days on, y days off. So if you ask them "Are you going to be able to go to my wedding on July 15, 2012" they have no idea. This helps solve that problem. Feed back as always is appreciated.

  • WAYF – A Simple Scheduling App2024 · wayf.vercel.app · ▲122

    A dead-simple web app to find the best time for your next meetup with friends. No logins, no bloat. Schedule with a link. --- When trying to schedule events with my friends, we often have a long text thread of sporadic dates and the group has to mentally combine all the messages to produce a date that works for all. There are plenty of apps out there to coordinate scheduling, but I found many of them were bloated with features that didn't matter to us, required user sign ups and app downloads. This friction is enough for us to prefer rudimentary long text threads. I wanted something that I…

  • Time Off Planner2023 · daysoffplanner.com · ▲7

    I got tired of trying to figure out my vacation balance throughout the year, so I made this website to be a stupid simple solution. It was pretty satisfying to bang it out over a weekend. * not all holidays are supported, and probably will do some custom-holiday-in-cookie functionality, but this is a common US list. * basically only looks good on 'normal' sized browsers

    I had problems scheduling company get together. 3 days in next 3 months, 12 people, whats the best date for that? I've build the solution to my problem (human coded haha) and recently is started getting traction which is nice, so we added Slack integration (Claude coded). WhenNOT flips the question: instead of "when are you available?", we ask "when are you NOT available?" It's completely free - no premium tiers, no limits. I built it because I needed it for my own team.

    I built a tool to sync localStorage between devices2025 · htmlsync.io · ▲5

    At my day job, we have a daily async stand-up. We have to message a slack bot how many hours we have worked on a given task that day and overall. The format is: > Task: "Task Name" | Worked: 5h Total: 16h > Description: Finished implementation of feature. I don't complain. Most fully remote jobs come with a version of this, but doing it manually got tedious. So, I needed a simple app that would track this. I am not usually a fan of "vibe coded" apps, but this was an ideal candidate for it, since it's not production code. Most LLMs solve the problem by creating a single HTML file with forms…

  • Reassign – a 24-hour dial for planning your dayMay 2026 · reassign.app · ▲8

    For years I've used paper and a printed clock to organise my day. Found it way better than any list or timeline app. Played around a bit and made a digital clone to speed things up: Reassign.app (best experience is on desktop) Anyone else think of their day as a circle rather than a list? edit: it also has MCP integration (https://reassign.app/api/mcp) — my Claude already connects to Linear and Calendar, so I use it to start and plan my day. I can quickly get a skeleton of a day out and then polish until done.
