When trying to schedule events with my friends, we often have a long text thread of sporadic dates and the group has to mentally combine all the messages to produce a date that works for all.
There are plenty of apps out there to coordinate scheduling, but I found many of them were bloated with features that didn't matter to us, required user sign ups and app downloads. This friction is enough for us to prefer rudimentary long text threads. I wanted something that I could post in the thread once, my friends can add their availability on their own time (and can edit), and we can continue on our conversation.
WAYF (When are you free?) is a fun side project that solves this issue. Bare-bones scheduling for what days you are free. No user accounts, no downloads, just paste a link and anyone can schedule. It's completely free.
I hope you like it and find it useful, I would love feedback.
But otherwise UI/UX look and feel great!
It doesn't require signing in, and it allows adding what times you are available.
It's a bit unintuitive in where the buttons are placed so some people sometimes struggle to figure out how to add their availability, but generally I like it.

No accounts necessary, and they handle timezones too
Small suggestion: would put on the page what the name abbreviates. Or is "When are you free" so universal? (I didn't get it before seeing your post, but am not a native speaker). Also do you pronounce it like "wife" or like "waive"?
Poss roadmap items:
* Can the original organiser set some limits around which days can be selected? Or even lock it down so _only_ those dates can be chosen from?
* Introduce the concept of times too - what’s the expected duration of the event? This should help participants choose their availability.
* Edit your responses.
* Leave your email to be kept up-to-date with changes.
* Main display of results from all participants - add a calendar view.
* Highlight or sort the most popular/feasible dates

A UX enhancement could be to add a wizard like steps so the user knows where they stand in the flow. You can also allow the user to navigate forward or back in the wizard.
It would also be nice if you can choose the time with the dates.
