Specifically: spite at a 47-message group chat that produced four maybes, one wrong date and nobody bringing the cake.
Hang on
GC = group chat. The WhatsApp thread with everyone in it. The one you muted in March and now can't find anything in.
It's brilliant for deciding where to go for a pint. It's terrible for organising anything with money, numbers or a date attached — because a group chat has no memory. Answers scroll away. "Yes" from three weeks ago looks exactly like "yes" from yesterday. Nobody can tell who's actually paid.
So you end up keeping a list in your notes app, cross-referencing it against your bank, and asking the same four people the same question twice.
Getting out the GC means sending one link instead. The link remembers. You don't have to.
The short version
They were never meant to be a spreadsheet, a payment tracker and an allergy register at the same time. That's all this is: the boring bits, lifted out, so the chat can go back to being funny.
What we care about
Guests pay you directly, through your own Monzo, PayPal or Revolut link. We never hold it, never route it and never take a percentage. We're a list, not a bank.
No account, no app, no password for the people you invite. They tap a link and answer three questions. Anything more and half of them won't bother.
Ten days after your party, every name, number and allergy is gone automatically. We don't want a warehouse of people's dietary requirements, and you don't want us to have one.
Free to ten guests. £40 once if you go bigger. No subscription, no per-head fee, no "premium" tier that unlocks the bit you actually needed.
Where it came from
Someone was turning 30. There was a venue, a Chinese takeaway order, a round-table game night and about thirty people who all needed to know the same six facts — and none of whom could be told, because the whole thing was a surprise.
The group chat was obviously not an option. Neither was a spreadsheet nobody would open. So we built a single page: the invite on top, an RSVP form underneath, a payment link, and a private list only the organisers could see.
It worked. Then two other people asked if they could use it. So here it is.
Still small, still run by the people who built it. If something's broken or missing, there's a decent chance you're talking to whoever wrote it.
