Plans, photos and who owes what — without another group chat.
Six people, one trip, and four hundred messages in which the date was agreed three separate times. A board holds the answer instead of scrolling it away, and everybody can see it without joining anything.
Ready to open
Eight boards for your people
Plans survive better on a wall than in a chat. Each of these opens as a working design — make one the group's own and send the link.
Cities, dates and the shared plan — the group trip that finally leaves the group chat.
Open this board Game nightThe scoreboard, the schedule, the grudges — game night deserves a board of its own.
Open this board Book clubWhat you're reading, who's hosting, and the pile of what's next.
Open this board Who owes whomThe tab, split and settled — friendships survive arithmetic done in public.
Open this board League standingsYour five-a-side, your fantasy league, your ladder — standings that update in front of everyone.
Open this board Movie night queueThe watchlist you vote on, and the veto everyone pretends not to use.
Open this board Group noticeboardOne wall for the plans, the photos and the inside jokes.
Open this board Birthday radarEvery friend's date on one calendar, with enough warning to do something about it.
Open this boardType it, and see it come together
Say what your people need on it
Pick one of these, or type what you are actually organising — and watch the board build itself. The shapes are the real widgets; the numbers are missing because they are not yours yet.
The trip, on one page nobody has to scroll
Dates that were actually decided. The house with the link to it. Who has paid. Photos as they arrive. All of it at an address you can paste anywhere.
Four hundred messages. One answer.The date that was actually agreed, at a link everybody can open.
A decision stops being something you have to find again
In a group chat the agreed date is a message from three weeks ago with eleven replies under it. On a board it is a tile at the top that says the date, and it stays there until somebody changes it. That is the entire difference, and it is enormous.
Keep the options that lost, if you like — one dim tile saying what was ruled out saves the whole argument being had again in November.
The awkward part, said once, in public, by a tile
Nobody enjoys chasing four hundred and twenty złoty. A tile that lists who has paid does the chasing without anybody having to be the person who chases — it is just there, and people settle up because they can see themselves on it.
No shared-expenses app to make everybody install, no accounts, no fees. A list, kept honest by being visible.
Not spread across six phones and three chat threads
Everybody adds theirs to the same board. It is not a social network and nobody is being shown advertisements next to their weekend — it is a page with the pictures on it, at a link you control.
Take it down in a month or leave it up for years. The board belongs to whoever made it, and that is the only permission model involved.
One link, and everyone is in
The reason the last shared-planning app did not stick is that three of your friends never installed it. Nothing to install here: publishing a board gives you a web address, and a web address works for everyone you know, on whatever they happen to own.
If you want people to be able to edit rather than just look, sign them in and they can — and two of you can move the same tile at the same time and watch each other do it.
The second trip takes ten minutes, because the first one is the template
Copy the board, change the dates and the house, and the whole structure — the money, the list, the photos — is already there. Everything in dash-b is a setup that can be copied, nested and merged, so a board you made once is a board you have forever.
Designing is free, so making the first one costs nothing but an evening. Publishing it at a link is where a plan comes in, and one plan covers all the trips you will ever take.
