What does Cron bring?
Their website[1] shows something that looks nearly identical to the MacOS default calendar app (edit: which is a good design to take inspiration from) but no list of features or much else of substance.
Edit: Their docs[2] contain some more info

- mnholt 4y agoI thought their first product photo was the macOS calendar app with spotlight up in front of it.

- bberenberg 4y agoIt's super fast, works great across multiple calendars, is super fast. I would say it's what I wish Apple would make the default calendar. The only downside I have to date is no iOS app. It's one of my favorite apps, unfortunately I expect Notion will ruin it.
- qeternity 4y ago> It's super fast, works great across multiple calendars, is super fast. But how fast is it?
- askafriend 4y agoSuper
- qeternity 4y agoSuper and also super.
- dberg 4y agoGoes to 11
- bberenberg 4y agoLol, fair, didn't reread and stream of conscious isn't the best. But yes, really damn fast ;) Leaving original up intentionally.
- qeternity 4y agoHaha just busting your chops. You’ve convinced me to try it out!
- op00to 4y agoIt’s so fast you have extra time to talk about how fast it is .. twice! A glowing recommendation!
- DigiDigiorno 4y agoI just assumed you were adding emphasis on how fast it was lol
- codegladiator 4y agodefinitely a 7 out of 9.
- bpizzi 4y agoYes, we are borg, we will adapt.
- jandrese 4y agoAre people using calendar apps that are slow? I can't remember speed ever being a problem on any of mine.
- lawgimenez 4y agoCron is running on Electron. I doubt it is fast.
- jreynoldsdev 4y agoStep #1 to being acquired by Notion, host your documentation on Notion.
- alexarena 4y agoTheir availability sharing is top notch, too.
- gumby 4y agoDoesn't look like it adds much of anything to the Apple calendar, which itself is a pretty minimal implementation. I actually found it worthwhile to pay $50 for Busycal which has a lot of features important to me (presumably not to most people). Fantastical also has a following at around the same price point, though it didn't do it for me. I wish notion supported the mac, but they just have a lame web view which isn't any better than using a web browser. Doesn't act at all like a native app.
- bm5k 4y agoI discovered cron looking for a way to manage my "two DayJob calendars with 85% duplicate events but 15% unique events". Specifically since I was annoyed at getting 2 notifications for every event that was duplicated on both calendars. And cron actually solved that problem by automagically recognizing duplicate events and only notifying once. I turned off all notifications in calendar.app. The only other differentiating feature I am aware of is how configurable the menu bar app is. Thankfully, I no longer have the original problem + I don't like things in my menu bar so I'm probably switching back to the built in app.
