So I actually think there's a lot of interesting ideas here. - Love the idea of a continuous timeline view in the "day" view. Not sure how I feel about the horizontal scrolling. Mostly I dislike the vertical-oriented text, but maybe I'd get used to it. - Love the daily habit tracking built right in. - Love the "some time this week" feature. - I like the "maybe" calendar. I dropped my @hey email address after a year because I quickly learned that having a built-in Calendar was a non-negotiable must-have for me (it turns out that most of my personal emailing is about coordinating events...ha!) I might fire it back up for a year to give it another go now that they have a more native calendar integration. The design language is very much 37 Signals/Basecamp/Hey. You'll either love it or hate it.

The vertical text is the only thing I'm really struggling with. It's unreadable to me.

  Yeah, I think it's the wrong choice. It's really off-putting because the words are the wrong way. There's a reason books on a bookshelf consistently have the words reading down. That's what I expect to see. But if you do it right from that perspective, it's wrong with respect to the "timeline" (that is, if you mentally "turn your head" so you're reading right-to-left, you now read "up" the timeline), so that's bad too. The fact that both choices are wrong are a strong signal they're on to the wrong premise.

I switched over to using it for my day to day just to check it out and I really like all of these things * a lot *. I also like simple time tracking that displays tracked time as a bar on the border of your day or week view. I think it's pretty nice as a personal calendar. For getting through my days and weeks, I was previously using Google Calendar + Microsoft To Do. I like this a lot more. I hope they do something better with the vertical text and make the habits more flexible.
