Re: permission to access contacts: we're strongly against spamming your contacts (we've had our own negative experiences with apps that do). If you prefer to not give permission to contacts, you can always add friends manually.
When you add a friend to Millow, it lets us know you trust this person and are open to sharing your availability with them (availability is a feature in Millow). If someone you didn't add as a friend adds you to their Millow account, they are not able to see your availability because you did not add them as a friend on your account. We also do not let people know if they have been added to your Millow account, as we feel this is private information.
You can always opt to not share your availability as well, but we have found it helps people break down barriers for communication in different time-zones.
Given the strong preference for desktop/web access here on HN, we will likely be prioritizing this feature earlier than we were before!
Happy to discuss more at support@millow.app and thanks again for the feedback!
