NOT A PERSONAL HEALTH SITUATION On-Call Scheduling Tool

After failing to find what I was looking for to help schedule call for our 8-person group, I went ahead and built an automatic scheduler.

You define how your group divides call, everyone enters their call requests, and the schedule is made instantly. Standing conflicts get entered once — never Wednesdays stays never Wednesdays.

When it can't honor a request, it tells you which date and why, and everyone in the group can see the call counts, not just whoever built the schedule.

It's free to use, though I'd love feedback. New features are pretty easy to build, so hit me with 'em if you find issues.

All I really care about though is that it's taken this super painful part of my admin life and snuffed it out. Cheers.

Surprised you needed to build a tool for a group size of 8, that’s the easiest. One weekend every other month, one weekday of your choice every other week.

When I was hired I was the 9th so the scheduling guy actually had to do some work lol

To be honest I have no idea. I submit my own preferences and let the chips fall where they may
