A lot of plans start with “we know what we want to do” long before we know when everyone can do it. The host shouldn’t have to guess a single time that might work; the group can say what actually works for them.
In this feature, the host can offer up to five candidate times and run a poll: people tick the slots they would attend. There is a minimum attendance and an RSVP deadline (vote by). When the deadline passes, the most popular time wins, if the threshold is met. If two slots tie, the host breaks the tie.
The hope is to lower the bar for creating an event: you don’t need perfect foresight on everyone’s calendar, just a few reasonable options and a deadline.
Host: candidate times and deadline
The host can poll instead of picking one time up front: add a few candidate times (two to five), set minimum attendance, and a vote-by deadline.
Guests: which times work
Each person checks the slots they can make. Progress toward the threshold shows at the top.
After votes are in and the deadline hits, the winning slot becomes the plan. Same idea as the event card cover above: saved availability, threshold progress, then Open for the details once time is set.
