Who's Coming?

Idea

Simple RSVP tracking.

The problem

You sent the invite to the group thread four days ago. Half responded, two said "maybe," one is probably a yes but hasn't typed the word. Friday morning you're calling the restaurant to change the reservation from eight to six to seven, guessing.

Partiful wants your friends to make an account. When2meet looks like a tax form. You don't need a party app — you need a headcount. The maybes have been open for a week, the ghosts are still ghosts, and the reservation deadline is tomorrow.

When you'll use it

Birthday dinner, Saturday, 7pm.

Twelve invited, reservation needs a final number by Thursday. Who's Coming? holds the list, you make one call.

Housewarming, open window 4–9pm.

You need a rough count for drinks and chairs, not a manifest. Yes, no, maybe — enough to shop for.

Monthly friend group brunch.

Same eight people, different answer every month. The list resets, the link gets reused, nobody downloads anything.

Dinner party, six people, one menu.

Two guests are vegetarian, one is allergic to shellfish. Flags sit next to the name, visible when you plan the meal.

What you get

Headcount locked by Friday.

The deadline passes, the count is final, the reservation matches.

No app required for guests.

They tap a link, pick a button, close the tab. Partiful wants an account; this doesn't.

Dietary restrictions in one place.

Not buried in a text thread from Tuesday. Next to the name, where you'll look.

The "maybes" get resolved.

Not left open forever. Named, nudged, or moved to no.

How Kit shows up

Names the stalled maybes.

"Jordan has been 'maybe' for 6 days. Sent a follow-up." Not a guilt trip, a fact.

Tracks dietary flags when guests add them.

"Two vegetarians, one shellfish allergy. Noted on the guest list."

Reports the final count at the deadline.

"RSVP window closed. Seven yes, two no, one no-response. I marked the no-response as no — tell me if that's wrong."

This one's an idea.
