Hey LIB, posted about this a while back when it was just a demo — it's now fully built out and working.

Same idea, one app for group planning, chat, and location sharing instead of juggling Google Docs and Discord. Location sharing is manual so you just set your own pin, nothing tracking you in the background. It also caches to your device so you can still pull up your data when you lose service on the grounds.

No app to install, just a website. You can add it to your home screen as a PWA if you want push notifications and a better offline experience.

Still completely free, no plans to monetize it.

My group was using a chaotic mix of a Google Doc, Google Sheet, and Discord to plan for Lightning in a Bottle. I got tired of jumping between all three and built a single web app to handle planning, location sharing, and chat in one place.

I was originally going to EDC LV this year but switched to LIB last minute, so I threw EDC LV in there too.

I landed on rallypoint (rallypt) for a name, open to suggestions lol.

Location sharing is manual, you set and update your own pin. The app also caches to your device so even when you lose service you can still pull up set times, see the last location of your crew, and any rally points.

No app to install either, it's just a website, but you can add it to your home screen as a "App" if you want push notifications and a better offline experience.

PSA: Claude + GPT wrote 99.99% of the code but I work in IT so I actually know what it's doing, I'm not just vibe coding into the void.
