    For me the issue is that everyone is always busy.

    Me: hey, how about we meet next Friday

    Person1: I can only do Sunday from 17 to 19

    Person2: I can only do Saturday

    Person3: I can do Sunday but from 19 to 21

    Person4: I can only do the Friday after that

    Or even better, they take 5 days to reply and in the end say something came up.

    But once I manage to find the one date that fits most people and plan something people do show up.

        You mean doodle? It still exists but since polls are literally built into every messaging app now, its obsolete. It could be relevant if you have a one-time meeting with people who dont know each other and dont have a common messaging app.

        Don’t remember the name but I used it couple of times in corpo settings. I think it weird that we have to organize meetings with couple of friends the same way we organized team buildings. I mean, weekends are for resting. Why everyone has everything booked months in advance? I spend every weekend actively but I don’t have a lot of plans that I can’t drop to meet someone.
