🌱 Two Ambitions: Seating & Scheduling
We’re planting two pins in the ground. Not features, not roadmaps — just shapes the future might grow toward.
These aren’t announcements. They’re intentions we want to remember later.
🎭 1. A Simple Ticketing Tool (Assigned or General Admission)
Something small, almost playful:
- You sketch or describe your seating layout.
- The system recognizes the sections and expands the ranges.
- It prevents overselling.
- It can optionally assign seats.
- Payments plug into whatever system you use.
Nothing fancy. No bloated commercial theater software. Just a lightweight, human-scale utility that understands a seating chart and helps a community group run a show.
A little box office that fits in your pocket.
🎬 2. A Rehearsal Scheduler Based on Roles, Scenes, and Time
Rehearsal planning is one of the hardest parts of putting on a play. Everyone has jobs, conflicts, obligations; every scene has its cast; every actor has their windows.
It becomes a maze immediately.
We want something that:
- takes a list of scenes
- takes a list of roles in each scene
- takes each actor’s real availability
- intersects all these pieces
- and quietly suggests the most compatible blocks of time
Not an all-powerful scheduler. Not a command center. Just a tool that helps everyone breathe.
A gentle combinatorial assistant that helps small creative groups find the time to make something together.
🌿 Why mark these now?
Because they express a wider principle:
Small organizations deserve powerful tools without inheriting the complexity of big organizations.
Both of these ideas revolve around that principle.
They’re not being built today. They’re placeholders — reminders. We'll return to them when the moment feels right.
