Check out my web app: MeetingBrew.com (A better When2Meet)

Hey everyone! CS student here with another project for you all: a website for scheduling meetings that creates a heatmap of availabilities on a calendar!

Most of you have probably used when2meet before. But that app hasn’t been updated much in over 10 years, and the user experience (especially on mobile) is suffering as a result. My friend and I tried to address all of the issues we had with when2meet with a new website: MeetingBrew.com.

MeetingBrew improves in these ways:

  1. The mobile UI
  • Large and easy to use
  • New touch and drag interaction to display a semi-transparent overlay with respondents’ availability
  • Click and drag reliably works when filling out the calendar - no more buggy accidental deselections
  1. Added functionality
  • Every element is interactive (hover with your cursor!): from the calendar, to respondent names, to the heatmap legend
  • Click the checkbox next to a respondent’s name to filter the calendar for only times when these vital attendees are available
  • You can set a custom link for extra flavor ⚡️✨
  • Invite button copies the link to your clipboard
  1. Misc.
  • Timezones are very functional thanks to an ungodly number of hours spent researching global timezone and DST rules
  • A modern UI rehaul

Where we hope to take MeetingBrew in the future:

  • More breakpoints for the responsive layout (better split-screen on desktop)
  • Dark theme
  • Link previews when sending Meetingbrew links (see the calendar heatmap from iMessage or Discord link previews)

We’d love any feedback that you have! Try it out!
