Put it on big screen, hit Start. Display runs in realtime speed, multiplied by the number of people. Everybody will see how much human lifetime gets burned in a matter of minutes. Hit Stop in the end. You’ll get the receipt, send it to participants as a post-mortem to digest what just happened.

In some inexplicable circumstances I ended up attending a sort of leadership training last weekend. In another coffee break, after enduring a “hands-on exercise” of holding a “meeting about discussing how to make meetings productive”, I couldn’t help myself but create the thing in one sitting. One prompt. One single html file, all necessary JS & CSS included. Upload it to cloudflare pages. Done. The thing that you see here is not exactly the version back those couple of days, though, but functionally identical. The initial design was ugly to my tastes. Got a bit better version from claude.ai/design after returning from the “leadership training”.

The tool is silly, but I enjoyed the soothing therapeutic experience of creating it. If you look at it, do you see any corporate silliness still not properly getting captured by the meeting receipt?
