Reodite Schedules

One master weekly calendar for your whole friend group. Everyone drops in their UBC Workday schedule export, picks a handle + avatar, and shares a single link — the app overlays every schedule into one grid, merging shared course sections into single blocks that show everyone who's in them.

No backend. Everything runs in the browser; group data travels compressed inside the share link's URL hash, and persists locally in your browser.

Features

• Master calendar — Google-Calendar-style week view of everyone's courses; each block shows course, time, building + room, and the avatars of everyone in that section.
• Merged blocks — friends in the same section share ONE block (their avatars stack on it).
• Share links — two modes. Public (#e=…) compresses the whole group's schedules into a URL: open a friend's link, add your schedule, copy the new link back to the chat (newest data wins on merge; nothing is dropped). Private (#i=…) carries only the schedule identity and member ids — no names, no courses — so it renders solely for people who already have those profiles; missing members fill in automatically once their profile links are imported.
• People page (#people) — everyone you import (from any link, file, or upload) is saved ONCE on your device. Schedules just reference them, so an updated person is current in every schedule that includes them. Search by name or course, pin favorites, hover for a week-at-a-glance preview — and build schedules by selecting people and naming the result.
• Profile links — every person also has their own compact link (#p=…) that shares just their schedule. Opening one saves/updates that person in your people list — no group involved.
• Person filter — click anyone in the crew panel to hide/show them on the grid.
• Common free time — green hatched bands where everyone visible is free (8 AM–8 PM, gaps ≥30 min).
• Right now — live panel of who's currently in class (and where) vs. free, reading-break aware.
• Terms — Fall/Spring detected automatically from the data; defaults to the current term.
• Profiles — emoji, colored initials, or an uploaded photo (photos stay on-device and in JSON exports; share links downgrade them to initials to keep URLs short).
• JSON export/import — full-fidelity backup path (includes photos), for when a link won't do.
• Campus map — the map button opens a pan/zoom map of UBC Vancouver (own page at #map, lazy loaded so the main page never downloads the geodata). Buildings with friends in class light up with avatar pins; clicking one reveals who's inside, their course, and room. Live mode tracks the current day and time; Free mode has a big time slider + day rail to scrub the whole week. Building shapes come from Reodite/ubc-unified-data; regenerate public/map/ubcv-campus.json with npm run build:map-data.

How to add your schedule

1. In Workday: Academics → Registration & Courses → View Saved Schedule, then export to Excel (the .xlsx download).
2. Drop the file on Reodite Schedules, pick a handle + avatar.
3. Copy share link → paste it in the group chat. Friends open it, add theirs, and re-share.

Development

npm install
npm run dev        # local dev server
npm run test       # vitest unit tests (parser, share-link, merge, calendar logic)
npm run build      # type-check + production build to dist/
node e2e/smoke.mjs # end-to-end smoke test (needs `npm run dev` running + Edge installed)

The examples/ folder contains sample Workday registration exports (.xlsx) used as test fixtures.

Deploying (GitHub Pages)

The repo ships with .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which builds and publishes on every push to main. One-time setup:

1. Create a GitHub repo named ScheduleSharer. (If you pick another name, change base in vite.config.ts to '/<repo-name>/'.)

2. git init
   git add -A
   git commit -m "ScheduleSharer"
   git remote add origin https://github.com/<you>/ScheduleSharer.git
   git push -u origin main

3. In the repo: Settings → Pages → Source: GitHub Actions.
4. Your app is live at https://<you>.github.io/ScheduleSharer/ — bookmark it and share away.

Architecture notes

• src/parse/ — hand-rolled .xlsx reader (fflate unzip + fast-xml-parser) tuned to Workday's export quirks: bogus <dimension>, omitted empty cells, Excel serial dates, multi-pattern meeting cells split around reading break.
• src/state/ — React reducer store, localStorage persistence, deflate share-link codec (tuple-packed). People live once in a roster (newest-wins upsert keyed by person id → handle); schedules are member references resolved on read. Share links (#e=) and profile links (#p=) share one payload format; both feed the roster on import.
• src/calendar/ — pure layout pipeline: expand → merge identical sections across people → greedy column assignment for overlaps; pixel-positioned blocks on a CSS grid week view.
• src/features/ — term derivation, common-free-time intervals, who's-free-now.
