Solution · Barbershop booking
A booking app for your barbershop, calendar and confirmations included
Describe the booking flow you want and get a working app — a calendar customers book into and an email confirmation sent on every appointment, all wired up for you.
The challenge
Why this is usually hard
A real booking app is more than a form — it needs a database to store appointments, logic to stop double-bookings, and email to confirm each slot. Stitching that together from scratch, or paying monthly for a rigid booking SaaS that does not fit your services, is the usual choice. Neither lets you shape the flow around how your shop actually runs.
How it works

Why code-anything
What you get out of the box
A real calendar
Customers pick an open slot and book it. Taken times are blocked, so you stop double-bookings without manual juggling.
Appointments are stored
A managed Postgres database holds every booking, customer and service — provisioned and connected automatically.
Automatic confirmations
Each booking triggers a confirmation email through managed transactional email, with no mail server to set up.
Deposits when you need them
Stripe payments can be wired in to take a deposit at booking — useful for cutting no-shows on busy chairs.
In practice
What it looks like
You describe how your shop runs; the app — calendar, database and confirmation emails — builds in the preview, ready to refine.
