At the start of the year, I realized I had zero control over my weekends. Between kids' birthday parties and local events, our schedule was a mess. Shared calendars are useful for time slots, but they fail at logistics. They do not store invite photos, track costs, or help you actually discover what to do.

I built wkndr.app as a mobile-first web app designed for partners to sync their weekend plans in real time.

Key Features

TikTok-Style Discovery: This is a vertical feed of upcoming Melbourne events.

AI-Generated Visuals: Since many local events lack high-quality media, I used the Gemini model to generate lifestyle images that represent the atmosphere of the event.

Logistics First: You can add birthday invites as images and track estimated costs directly within the plan.

Deep Research: I leveraged AI agents to scrape and curate events specifically for the Melbourne area.

The Tech Stack

Frontend: Vite and React optimized for a mobile web experience.

Backend: AWS Serverless including Lambda and DynamoDB for scale and low overhead.

AI: Gemini for image generation and event data synthesis.

Roadmap

Multi-child support: I am adding color-coded flares to track which child needs to be at which activity.

School Calendar Integration: This will include automated syncing for Melbourne’s complex private and public school terms.

Public Holiday Optimization: I am building a feature to help families maximize long weekends by identifying the best days to take leave.

I would love for some feedback so I can add events for other cities in future
