Show HN: Skedular, a Smart Booking and Workspace Management Platform

Hi HN

I have been working on Skedular a platform that helps organizations councils co working spaces and local businesses manage bookings shared spaces and multi location operations in a simple modern way

What Skedular does

  - Manage rooms desks studios sports facilities meeting spaces and any kind of bookable asset
  - Handle multi location multi team scenarios
  - Provide public booking pages for venues
  - Offer a clean dashboard for operators to manage availability payments customers and schedules
  - API first design for easy integration with existing systems
  - Built with modern tooling including Nextjs NET backend PostGIS and Kafka events
Why I built it

Most booking platforms are either too simple or too enterprise heavy Skedular is meant to sit in the middle powerful enough for councils or large organisations but simple enough for a local venue owner to use without training.

I am currently onboarding early users and would love feedback from this community especially around UX data modelling and scaling patterns.

Links

  - Public website https://getskedular.com
  - App website https://skedular.app
Looking for feedback

I would appreciate thoughts on the overall concept any edge cases I might be missing suggestions for UI and UX improvements and pain points you have experienced in managing bookings or shared resources

Thanks for taking a look Morteza

Boring Laser Eyes Simulator: Add laser beams to your eyes with your webcam

https://winterx.github.io/laser-eyes-simulator/

Needed a break from my main project, so I threw together this Laser Eyes Simulator. It's a silly little thing that adds laser beams to your eyes using your webcam. Downloadable images. Hope you enjoy!

Gemini 3 Prompt: - Use the computer's front-facing camera - Use `mediapipe` lib to capture facial landmarks - Use `threejs` to apply a LASER EYE effect to the face captured by the camera based on the real-time 3D landmark information provided by `mediapipe`
