i've built a small app to find times to meet up with my friends it's like Doodle but with UX (sorry) or like what if calcom was ass and lacked 99% of the features

it's called bear-fit 🧸🏋️‍♂️ and u can use it to meet irl or play @helldivers2.bsky.social (hmu) bear-fit.hasparus.partykit.dev?id=sgkys1dVU...

u click dates and see what dates your friend clicked that's all. no google calendar sync. no login

I needed it to be super simple and low effort like crab.fit, but even simpler — w/o hours, bcs my friend's big paws are too clumsy for that and I don't have knowledge at this level of detail weeks/months in the future ty for the inspiration Ben <3

it's open source if you're curious or you find a bug github.com/hasparus/bea...

i think we could use some more simple software don't get me wrong, i *identify* as Obsidian and Linear user. i love the craft, the keyboard shortcuts, the performance but not all software has to be like that... let's call it Good and Complex software, High Effort Software

your favorite software is probably Good and Complex some other software you're using is Ass and Complex, like Jira and Zoom's frontend (backend and video quality is legit tho) but what if we had something Simultaneously Ass and Complex SAaS. let that sink in

sometimes I just want a simple tool just use it and forget about it software not a product, not a B2B SaaS, but also not sb's magnum opus and part of the chosen toolset that defines you I hope bear-fit can be like that for you.

i started it with val.town Townie and later ejected to #Y.js and #PartyKit bcs the AI started misbehaving and I wanted a multiplayer — couldn't get Townie to set up SSE used @sakofchit's sakofchit.github.io/system.css/ to avoid fixating on UI and so the users don't treat this too seriously

I should have probably copied the styles or use CSS layers, but bear-fit is so small that `!important` was good enough

we ain't at the "AI-made personal software" point of history yet Townie is great, Y.js is so foolproof u can have a json blob per entity u handle schema changes over time with runtime types (funnily, Claude removes Zod's validations, but not @arktype.io xD) 1/2

but vibe coding still requires some effort and patience and I'm not sure most people would really want that 2/2
