Thanks for taking your time, this is valuable feedback! So, in a nutshell, the text is not explicative and the video is boring so you even did not finish it. But: you got the point of what it's all about! How is that? Did you find out by trying? Or was the video (even if boring and could be done much better) somehow helpful? Which parts are helpful? For curiousity: how would you as a tech-savvy person solve the problem of finding a common appointment?

Again, I don't have time to be less harsh, I hope this is of use ... > ... how would you ... solve the problem > of finding a common appointment? I wrote a small cgi. I put people in it, it lists dates. Everyone clicks days they're available, and it colors the dates more green for more people available, more red for fewer people available. After everyone has visited it's pretty clear what date or dates work best. I don't use Facebook, so I don't know what's there, but I'm sure people just open some sort of communal space or topic or whatever and use that. I've seen something like that go past in notifications. And I guessed what it was about because I have the problem, I've thought about what I want, I've written many components that work well enough for me, I realized your app was targetted at that, and I thought it looked too overladen and complex. I also didn't try it because it looks from the video that it needs a fast, modern browser, so I'd have to change machines and get things started. Can't be bothered.

  Hehe ok, that clarifies a lot. I had to smile a little reading about the CGI script, I didn't think there were people who would do such a thing just for themselves and their friends! But nice... and it shows that there is a problem to my solution. I think you made a good point about a more understandable presentation of the idea. I disagree that tech savvy people would not use the site, because even though I consider myself tech savvy, I would rather spend some minutes googling for some webpage that does what I want then writing my own script. In any case, Fasterplan should be usable by non tech savvy people, too, and I will work on that.
