Press kit

bitibybit.com is a shelf of free, no-signup tools for the small rituals Australian groups run every year — the office Cup sweep, the Kris Kringle, the street Christmas potluck — drawn in cosy pixel art and deliberately incapable of touching anyone's money.

The short version

One person makes a thing — a sweep, a name-draw, a potluck board, a gift registry — and shares a single link. No accounts, no app, free to use, no ads, no cookies. It's built and run in Australia as a side project.

Story angles

The Cup sweep that refuses to touch the money. Australians run hundreds of thousands of office sweeps on the first Tuesday of November, mostly with scissors and a biscuit tin. This one draws the board in a minute and deliberately handles zero dollars — the gold coins stay exactly where they've always been.
The wedding registry drawn as the gift. Couples saving for something big show it as a pixel drawing; guests claim a part — a tyre, the snorkel, the $15 air freshener — and the picture paints itself in as it's funded. The site never touches the money — it goes guest-to-couple by PayID.
Kris Kringle without the emails. The incumbent name-draw tools all want everyone's email address. This one works in the group chat: share a link, claim your name, see only your person.

Every image on the site is generated from declarative shape tables by a couple of hundred lines of code — no image editor involved — which is its own small story for the technically inclined.

Link to us

If one of these tools is useful to your P&C, club, office or newsletter, a link is the single most helpful thing you can do — it is how a small site gets found. Three ready to paste. The ?ref= on the end only tells our cookie-free page counter which kind of place the visit came from; feel free to delete it.
