FindDates – one proposed time at a time, so only one slot gets blocked
by rouuuge·Mar 4, 2026·1 point·0 comments
AI Analysis
●MidSolve My Problem
Doodle alternative, but the single-slot approach solves a problem most just accept.
Strengths
- •Core insight is sound: one slot at a time reduces calendar pollution and decision fatigue versus multi-option polls.
- •Clean, intuitive UI with calendar visualization makes proposing times frictionless.
- •Stateless share link flow means no signup required — lowers activation friction.
Weaknesses
- •Doodle, Cal.com, Calendly already handle this; FindDates isn't materially better, just different.
- •No evidence of user traction, analytics, or adoption signal — shipping solo solves one problem, not sustained need.
- •Back-and-forth counter-proposal workflow may feel slower than Doodle's instant voting across pre-loaded slots.
Category
Target Audience
Anyone coordinating meetings who finds multi-option polls cumbersome; small teams and casual organizers.

Post Description
Doodle-style polls block multiple slots in your calendar while you wait for everyone to respond. FindDates takes a different approach: propose one specific time, share a link, the other person accepts or counter-proposes. Only one slot is ever in play at a time.
