After actually documenting his suggestions, only 1 out of 7 concrete suggests are not currently available in Google Calendar. His suggestions, in order:
1) Show only the current day and future days -- Google Calendar does this
2) Can't see when other people are busy or free -- Google Calendar does this (if that person has shared their calendar)
3) Can't see when a group of people have common free time -- Google Calendar does this
4) Get an autoresponse if you invite someone when they are not free -- this is mooted by 2) and 3)
5) Jointed owned calendars -- Google Calendar does this (can give people edit permissions on your calendars)
6) Autoreject invites based on time -- Google Calendar does this
7) Location aware -- OK, gCal doesn't do this.
- epochwolf 16y agoAnd the best part? Google Calendars can be synced with OSX/iOS Calendar apps so they can be available offline.
- alexmat 16y agoActually #7 works. When I travel to a new timezone and log in to gCal, it asks me if I want to change my timezone to the newly detected one. Pretty nice :D
- njharman 16y agoThis is why HN desperately needs downvote for articles.
- narag 16y agoNot to disagree with you, but the fact is sometimes I "upvote" an article because it's also the way to save the story and I've liked some comments a lot, even if the referenced article is bad.
