The best part about Sunrise was Meet, its quick little method of booking meetings with someone: https://sunrise.am/meet

You'd choose some available times, it gives you a link which you send to whoever you want to meet with, and the recipient books a time slot with a couple of clicks. It updates in real time so if you book something new, the slot disappears. It even has a little iOS keyboard to generate these links.

Does anyone know a similar replacement service? Nothing beats just pasting someone a link and letting them pick one of three times you chose.

None of the suggested alternatives so far are the same as Sunrise's meet feature-- including vyte, Microsoft Invite, Google's Appointment Slots, or calendly.

Meet allows you (the requester) to set the times available for meeting and send a signup page to a single respondent.

It's not about group meetings, or about "office hours" that anyone can sign up for. The use case is surprisingly broad: a small window of availability for a single meeting.

Google Calendar supports this natively with Appointment Slots. Choose a time block on the calendar and click "Appointment Slots" in the pop-up.
I've used calendly.com with some success.
Nice, thanks! And I can pay for it, that's a comforting change.
vyte.in does it in a more general way.
