Just made a new utility site to simply serve JSON directly from your custom domain without needing a server. This service aims to help developers who need quick and reliable JSON h…

Congrats jerpint! How many people are attending? Please feel free to use this tool if it happens to work for you. Would love to hear if you actually do use this. But get some rest,…

Yea for most of the social conditions, you can probably already use the "Separate/Link" feature. Similar to hermitcrab's comment, I'm not sure about the right/left handed-ness. As …

Definitely valuable constraints! I'll definitely have to think about how to incorporate such things in a simple to use manner.

Thanks a lot for all the development of Optaplanner over the years! Your work is really amazing and valuable.

As others have mentioned, this is very culturally dependent. And culture isn't necessarily country or region. Different types of people like different things. This particular app i…

Oh great! Are there any other features/abilities you might need to be able to use this? I appreciate the feedback!

Thanks for the insights! At the moment, the app is targeted at "table level" rather than "seat level". This already has different table sizes. There's already a way to mark who sho…

I agree that having serendipity adds to the mix. This tool is more an iterative tool, meant to help guide the decisions, rather than being prescriptive.

Yea, I would love to hear from one of those aunty/uncles! But I don't know any offhand. You have any pointers? Thanks for giving the tool a try!

Yea, I went with Optaplanner, which is definitely more "user friendly". Prioritization of parties is on the roadmap, related to table ranking. Were you thinking of prioritization i…

Good points! I looked at Perfect Table Plan, and it seemed perhaps a bit "too complex" at the moment. I agree that it takes some iteration, and that's why the UI is meant to help t…

Yep, there's already a way to select guests and keep them separated in the UI. Give it a try and lemme know what you think!

Haha! How many people attended? Would your in-laws have been able to use this type of tool?

Yea, I agree the versioning isn't really there yet. Definitely great idea for the autocomplete and seat finder. Right now, I'm not storing any data on the server, so can't do looku…

Yea Optaplanner is pretty good. It's definitely gotten better over the years in terms of usability, especially with Constraint Streams.

Great for schools! If you click on the Optimize, it's already a shuffling. I could add shuffling from there, but it really won't affect optimization too much, as the underlying sta…

Thanks for the great feedback! I agree with versions mattering. At the top, there's every version right now. Probably needs better UX. Yea, I agree with adding attributes. I wasn't…

I'm using Optaplanner underneath, which is already open source. https://www.optaplanner.org/

I'm using Optaplanner as the engine under the covers, which is open source and off the shelf. https://www.optaplanner.org/

Right now I don't support multiple groups. That was on the roadmap, but I haven't put it in yet. I figured most people didn't need multiple groups immediately, but if I hear it's i…

Ooh cool! FYI you can lock people to the tables and it optimizes around it already. Just click on the lock icon. Interesting idea on the tolerances. Right now I'm not putting in sp…

No writeup yet, since I've been working on the UX more than the optimization. I haven't optimized the optimizer yet or done benchmarking yet. Mostly working on the constraints and …

I agree there's going to be some hand curation. That's why this tool was meant to help iterate over solutions, and not prescribe. You can lock people in. Also, thanks for the specs…

Thanks for trying it out! With the spreadsheet, you can just put couples as single guest (+1 = 2 party size). So you can put a whole family as (Person+3) or something. See the temp…
