Perhaps studies found most people have 3 or less calendars and your just an outlier? Would you design your product for the 90% or the 10% use case - perhaps your being slightly hypocritical if you were to compare your critique here with your previous entries about how to build software
- txxxxd 15y agoHe must not have noticed, but in the new UI you can minimize the "Mini Calendar" on the left side. For someone with such a packed calendar the mini calendar is useless, and with it minimized you can view even more calendars than you could in the old UI.
- lloeki 15y agoDidn't catch that one, nice: I mostly use the month view, so that's a real space saver.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoIt's not hard to find people that want to have categorized calendar events but want to share their availability with other Google Calendar users. It's an absurdly simple request for CALENDAR SOFTWARE but users are ignored anytime they ask for it. Allow for color-labeling on a single calendar, allow us to share an "availability" calendar that is a merge of our existing calendar. There are already privacy settings on the events. Outlook has done this for 10 years? 15 years?
- roundsquare 15y agoI agree. I would venture that a huge percentage of people don't use more than once calendar. However, if that is true, they re-design didn't solve the problem because its not as if they used the space more efficiently.
