Can I code Doodle?

Propose a few times, let everyone mark what works, show the best overlap — that's the whole product, and it's a genuinely simple evening build with no real moat behind it.

VIBE SCORE 97/100

how this is worked out

Why CanICodeThis says Build it

  • A poll with a fixed set of time-slot options and one-click availability marking is basic CRUD
  • Tallying which slot has the most yeses is a simple aggregation, no scheduling-conflict logic needed
  • A shareable link with no login required (anonymous responses) is a common, well-understood pattern

Read before building

  • Calendar integration to auto-check your own availability against proposed slots adds real OAuth complexity if you want it
  • Their team and enterprise scheduling features (booking pages, admin controls) are a different, deeper product
  • For sensitive scheduling needing accountability, anonymous responses might not be what you actually want

The build spec

Build me a group scheduling poll tool: create a poll with a handful of proposed time slots, share a link, let respondents mark yes/no/maybe on each slot with no login required, and show a summary of which slot has the most availability. SQLite behind a small API, no accounts needed for respondents.

What it actually costs to build

Two real costs, not just "free": the AI agent's own usage, and hosting once it's running. Both are estimated from this app's own effort rating and component list — see the assumptions on the method page.

AI agent — with a subscription (Claude Pro/Max, Cursor, etc.)$0 marginal
AI agent — pay-per-use API, no subscription$16–$27 one-time
Hosting, once it's running$0/mo (free tier)
Domain name, if you want your own~$12/yr

Doodle costs $6.95/mo. Even paying per-token with no subscription, and accounting for hosting, this build pays for itself in about 4 months.
