I clicked on the site without reading your opening comments. It took me a couple of minutes to understand what the purpose is. I think I would not have given it that much time if it was not a Show HN. But then again its such a specialized tool that if someone finds it they will perhaps know how to use it. I don't know, maybe add a button somewhere for a simple explanation?
Also the title says "What time today?" but actually the default calendar which shows up is the work week. That seems like mixed messages. Here is something I think will be cool, make the "What time ______?" as a drop down. So it goes "what time this week/day/work week?" etc. Some people might find it cheesy though.
- jonathancai11 7y agoThanks for the feedback. I was trying to go for simplicity/intuitiveness but I definitely was not successful haha. I may add a howto button or something like you suggest. And the title idea is cool! I'll see if that could work
- newswasboring 7y agoI certainly don't think you failed. Once I got what the purpose is, then its quite easy to understand the interface. I don't organize too many meetings, so I don't run into this problem too often.
- smashpanda 7y agoI instantly got it. Maybe you don’t schedule a lot of meetings. I have to schedule 3 meetings on avg a day _I think_. Constant pita
- newswasboring 7y agoYes that can be it. For me other people organize meetings with me and for that they can just look at my outlook calendar.
- jonathancai11 7y agoYou let them view your entire calendar? Or are you able to filter which are visible
- newswasboring 7y agoSorry for the late reply but for the sake of complete feedback I'll still post this. Yes I let them view my entire calendar but not in detail. So they can view when I'm busy and when I'm free but not which meeting it is.
