Guest critic sign-up
Visit nyu-guest-critic.netlify.app
A sign-up site for guest critics: mentors pick office-hour slots in their own time zone and how many student teams they can meet, so my students get feedback from people outside the classroom.
- Why
- So every student team gets feedback from real founders and operators, without me scheduling dozens of calls by hand.
- How long
- Built September 2026
How I built it
- Designed the invitation page with Claude and kept editing it until it read like a personal note.
- Asked Claude Code for a sign-up form: name, LinkedIn, expertise, and a grid of open times shown in each mentor's own time zone, with my class hours blocked out.
- Each sign-up saves on Netlify, so there's no database to run.
- I sent the link myself, by LinkedIn and text, to people I know.
- To copy it you need
- Claude, or the AI of your choice, and a free Netlify account.
Try it yourself
Copy this prompt and paste it into ChatGPT or Claude to try it yourself.
I want to copy a setup from Carley Hart's desktop on whatarewebuilding.ai/desktops/carley: a sign-up page where mentors volunteer to give students feedback. Hers shows each mentor a grid of open times in their own time zone, blocks out class hours, asks how many teams they can meet and for their LinkedIn, and saves each sign-up without a database. I'm running [program] and need [number] mentors between [dates]. Build me a simple version I can share with a link. Ask me for anything you need.
