what is pleeboo?

pleeboo is a free tool for organizing community events and coordinating volunteers. it helps you create pledge boards where people can sign up to bring things or help out.

why i built it

organizing events is a pain. who’s bringing what? did someone already sign up for drinks? is the signup sheet still up to date?

i wanted something simple that just works - no sign-ups, no credit cards, no premium tiers. just create a board, share the link, and let people pledge what they’ll bring.

how it works

  1. create a pledge board in seconds
  2. share the link with your community
  3. people pledge what they’ll bring or do
  4. track progress in real-time

the platform even gives you smart suggestions based on your event type, so you don’t have to think of everything yourself.

use cases

  • community gatherings (block parties, fundraisers, festivals)
  • school events (bake sales, field trips, pta activities)
  • team building (office parties, retreats)
  • family celebrations (reunions, holidays, birthdays)

what’s next

i’m exploring ways to make event coordination even easier. some ideas:

  • recurring events: for regular meetups and gatherings
  • integrations: calendar sync, messaging apps
  • templates: pre-made boards for common event types
