Built this during maternity leave with two kids and very limited free time 😅
I’m a mechanical engineer, not a developer, so honestly I’m still surprised I managed to put this together at all. With mostly Claude and chatgbt helping me along the way, this probably took me about a week of actual focused work in total.
It started because organising kids’ birthday parties through messages felt unnecessarily chaotic (landing page for beautiful tally form)I wanted a simple QR RSVP for invitations. I was surprised how pretty tally forms are and especially only as engineer I was only aware of Google forms.
Then it slowly turned into a small website where parents can manage invites, RSVPs, decorations, venues, gift ideas, and other party stuff in one place.
A lot is still unfinished. The product section especially is still very basic because I need to manually add affiliate links and think more carefully about what products actually make sense to recommend. Also found out Amazon doesn’t really allow embedding product images the way I expected, so it’ll probably end up being cleaner text recommendations with links instead.
Would genuinely love honest feedback:
What makes sense?
What feels unnecessary?
What would you improve first?
Still learning as I go 🙌 , can’t wait to publish it on new mums mumzone and parents group.
