I spent my 27th birthday coding a fix for my messy group chats. Am I crazy?
Yesterday was my 27th birthday. Instead of the usual dinner, I spent the morning in VIM (btw) shipping the waitlist for Squad In Sync. 🎂💻
The context: I was trying to plan my own birthday and NYE with my friends. Within 48 hours, the WhatsApp thread was 400+ messages deep. The flight info was buried, the restaurant link was lost, and half the group was in "decision paralysis" because they couldn't see the full plan.
The realization: We have Jira for our 9-to-5s, but our 5-to-9s are managed in a high-entropy stream of memes and "maybe" RSVPs. Group chats are for talking, but they are terrible for planning.
I’m building Squad In Sync as a dedicated logistics layer for social life. The goal is to decouple the "logistics" from the "chatter" so you can actually sync your squad without the burnout.
I decided to make Squad Generation free for our early adopters because I want to see if this solves the "Planner Burnout" for others as much as it did for me.
I’d love to hear from the PH community:
What’s your biggest "group chat nightmare" story?
Do you think we’ve reached "Peak Chat Fatigue"?
What’s one feature that would make you actually switch from a messy Google Sheet to a dedicated tool?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts! 🚀
