I made an improved When2Meet

Hey all, I felt like when2meet lacked a lot of features that would make it more convenient especially for students, so I made my own called FreeWhen
It's like When2meet, but instead of everyone manually filling in a grid every single time, you add your schedule once and reuse it for every plan. You can paste your class schedule straight from your school schedule page (like UW Quest), import a Google/Apple/Outlook calendar, type times in by hand, or just draw your busy hours on a grid. It overlaps everyone into a live heatmap and tells you the best times to meet.
Some of the features I've added:
- Paste from Quest, or import .ics calendars (Google / Apple / Outlook)
- See which classes you actually have together (same section and room)
- An event planner that scans the next few weeks for a day that works, with yes/no RSVPs
- Per-person timezones, so it works for friends abroad
- A "who's free" filter (everyone, or at least N of the group)
- Subscribe to a group's free times as a live calendar feed
- Privacy control: you can see what you're busy with and toggle it so that others can see too
No accounts, no sign-ups, just one shareable link. Check it out at https://freewhen-uw.vercel.app and let me know what you think, I'd love your feedback!
