Post it half-planned
Most event tools want a date and place up front. Here you can post with "to be decided" and let the group vote.

Plans with your people.
Spark Hub is a shared calendar for your friends & neighbors. Anyone can start an event, and everyone can pitch in.
It's an early prototype. Everything you'll see inside is sample content.

The problem
How many plans have died in your group chat?
- "We should do this" scrolls away.
- Nobody knows who's coming or who's bringing what.
- One person ends up doing all the organizing.
Spark Hub gives each group one place for plans, with the work split up.
How it works
Post it half-planned. Let the group fill in the rest.
1Post it rough
Just a name and a date. Leave the rest TBD.
2Everyone pitches in
Grab a job, pick a shift, bring a dish.
3Make it happen
Photos, thanks, and "Let's do it again."
Leading: you started it
Helping: you took a job
Going: you'll be there
A look around
More of the app.
What makes it different
Everyone brings a piece.
The work gets shared
Jobs, shifts and "bring something" lists are part of every event. "Could use a hand" shows open jobs across all your groups.
One calendar for all your groups
Your gym, your street and your kid's school, together in one place.
The host gets a to-do list
"Your tasks" shows exactly what's left. When the date, time or place changes, everyone gets the update automatically.
It remembers what happened
Albums, thank-yous and a scrapbook of past events add up to your group's story.
It's playful
Deal yourself a random event, tag along to where most people are going, and swipe between your group's ideas, plans and past events.
Being upfront
What's not done yet.
- Notifications are in the app onlyNo email or phone alerts yet, so you only see updates when you open it.
- Invites are share linksYou can't pick specific people yet, so there's no "hasn't replied" nudge.
- No messaging"Say hi" to a host shows "Messages are coming soon."
- Event types are guessedThe app guesses Outdoors, Food & drink and so on from the title. The host doesn't pick yet.
- Joining from an invite link is roughIt works, but that flow is a stopgap.
- No real domain yetGoogle's sign-in screen mentions a supabase.co address. That goes away once it has its own name and address.
- Web onlyYou add it to your home screen instead of downloading it from the App Store.
- No feedback buttonFor now, send your thoughts straight to me.
What I'm asking you
Two small things.
Try it for 10 minutes On your phone
Gut-check the idea
- Would your group (gym, street, PTA, friends) use this instead of the group chat?
- What would stop you?
- Would you actually use it without email or phone alerts?
- Is the loop right? Post it half-planned, the group fills it in, it happens, you remember it.
How to send feedback (text, email, a form) and by when.
