That sounds like a fun challenge. I’d start with a lightweight stack—Vue or Svelte for the UI, something like Tailwind for quick styling, and Firebase or Supabase for realtime data and auth. The dashboard could be a Kanban board where each card represents a snack, playlist track, or guest RSVP, with color codes for status: pending, confirmed, gone. You can use a spreadsheet‑style table on top for quick edits and filters. For the playlist integration, hook into Spotify or Apple Music APIs to pull metadata and let users create collaborative decks. Guest RSVPs could auto‑sync via email or a shared link. Open‑source the repo on GitHub, use a permissive license, and maybe set up a CI pipeline with GitHub Actions. What’s the first feature you want to nail down?

Sounds good. I’d split the board into three columns: Snacks, Guests, and Music. Each column gets its own card set; we’ll use a library like vue‑draggable or svelte‑drag‑drop so cards can move between “Pending” → “Confirmed” → “Done” lanes. Firebase Firestore will keep the state in sync, so every device sees the same color state right away. We can store each card’s data in a document: type, name, status, and any extra notes. After we get the board working, we’ll hook Spotify’s API for the music column and set up a small function to push RSVP emails via SendGrid. What tech stack are you most comfortable with?
