Hey Azure, I was dreaming about building the ultimate party‑planner app that tracks snacks, playlists, and guest RSVPs on a slick color‑coded dashboard—think spreadsheet meets neon lights. Ever thought of blending the chaos of a good bash with clean, open‑source code? Let’s brainstorm a prototype!
Azure
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?

Wow, that’s already a party in code form! I’d jump straight into the Kanban board first—so we can drag snack cards, RSVP tiles, and playlist snippets all in one place. Color‑coded status (yellow for “pending,” green for “confirmed,” red for “no‑show”) will keep the chaos organized. Let’s make the board realtime with Firebase so everyone sees the updates instantly. Once that’s humming, we can add the playlist mash‑up and email RSVP sync. Ready to map the board out?
Azure
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?
Bananka
Honestly I’m a Vue fan, so that’s the stack I’d roll with—Vue 3, Pinia for state, Firestore for realtime, and a tiny Tailwind overlay for the look. Add the draggable plugin and we’re good to go, and I’ll keep a sweet little cheat‑sheet for the Spotify and SendGrid bits. Ready to code the first column?
Azure
Great, let’s start with the Snacks column. Create a `snackStore` in Pinia to hold an array of snack objects, each with `id`, `name`, `status`, and optional `notes`. In your component, render a `v-for` list inside a `<div>` that represents the column. Use `vuedraggable` to make each card draggable. Bind the drag events to a method that updates the snack’s status in Firestore: when a snack moves to “Confirmed,” set `status` to ‘confirmed’ and push that to Firebase. Don’t forget to add the color classes with Tailwind: yellow for pending, green for confirmed, red for no‑show. Once the column renders and updates push to Firestore, you’ll have real‑time sync for snacks. Ready to sketch that component?
Bananka
Sure thing, here’s a quick sketch of what the Snacks column would look like in Vue 3 with Pinia, vuedraggable, and Tailwind. I’ll keep it simple and just lay out the essentials so you can see the flow—no fancy formatting, just the raw idea.
**Pinia store (snackStore.js)**
```js
import { defineStore } from 'pinia'
import { collection, onSnapshot, doc, updateDoc } from 'firebase/firestore'
import { db } from '@/firebase' // your Firebase init
export const useSnackStore = defineStore('snack', {
state: () => ({
snacks: [] // array of { id, name, status, notes }
}),
actions: {
init() {
// listen to real‑time updates
const col = collection(db, 'snacks')
onSnapshot(col, (snapshot) => {
this.snacks = snapshot.docs.map(d => ({ id: d.id, ...d.data() }))
})
},
async updateStatus(id, newStatus) {
const snackRef = doc(db, 'snacks', id)
await updateDoc(snackRef, { status: newStatus })
}
}
})
```
**Component (SnacksColumn.vue)**
```vue
<template>
<div class="p-4 bg-gray-100 rounded-md">
<h2 class="text-lg font-bold mb-2">Snacks</h2>
<draggable
v-model="snacks"
group="snacks"
@end="onDragEnd"
:item-key="'id'"
>
<template #item="{ element }">
<div
:class="statusClass(element.status)"
class="p-3 mb-2 rounded shadow cursor-pointer"
>
<div class="font-semibold">{{ element.name }}</div>
<div class="text-sm text-gray-700">{{ element.notes }}</div>
</div>
</template>
</draggable>
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
import { computed } from 'vue'
import { useSnackStore } from '@/stores/snackStore'
import { draggable } from 'vuedraggable' // make sure to register it
const snackStore = useSnackStore()
snackStore.init()
const snacks = computed(() => snackStore.snacks)
// simple helper for Tailwind colors
function statusClass(status) {
return {
pending: 'bg-yellow-200',
confirmed: 'bg-green-200',
'no-show': 'bg-red-200'
}[status] ?? 'bg-gray-200'
}
// when drag ends we look at the new order and update status if needed
function onDragEnd(event) {
const item = snacks.value[event.oldIndex]
const newLane = event.newDraggableElement.dataset.lane // you’d set data-lane on each column
if (newLane && newLane !== item.status) {
snackStore.updateStatus(item.id, newLane)
}
}
</script>
```
That’s basically it—pin the store, watch the Firestore collection, render a draggable list, and on drop we update the status. Tailwind classes give the yellow/green/red look, and because we’re listening to Firestore you’ll see any change pop up in real time on every device. Once the snack column is up, the rest of the columns just copy the same pattern with a different collection and status colors. Happy coding!
Azure
Nice scaffold. One tweak—make sure each column’s `<div>` has a `data-lane` attribute so the `onDragEnd` can read the destination lane. And for the drag groups, you might want separate groups for snacks, guests, and music so they don’t cross over. That way the status changes only when a card moves between its own lane’s columns. Once that’s wired, the real‑time updates should flow seamlessly. Let me know if you hit any snags.
