Whoa, this is exactly an idea I had for Timeslot, the day planner app I posted on HN yesterday. Nice job, you beat me to it :) It's a good idea, and this is a great start. Things that would make this invaluable: - The ability to combine mul

* I'll make the duration selector better, so that you get a drop down of 15 min intervals, but also you can type out an exact duration if you want to. * Yup, I'll fix that. * The todo list idea is on my todo list (haha, see what I did there

Will do. Thanks.

You can edit the start time of the day -- just click on it. I guess it's not clear enough that's editable, I'll fix that.

Meetings are fixed events that work well in something like Outlook (so you should definitely use it for that). But for planning an entire day, hour by hour, it's hard to plan in Outlook, and making small changes is very difficult when every

Thanks for the feedback, you're quite right. I'll make it more obvious that everything is editable.

Good idea. How about replacing the big screenshot slideshow on the landing page with a smaller, interactive agenda that is pre-filled with some items that you can edit / add to?

So that's how someone would use the API. Other than it's current functionality, what more would I need to add to the API for you to be able to use it in your natural workflow?

I was thinking of making todos part of a panel on the right that also includes canned events, stuff to be working on today based on due dates later in the week, and other such lists of items that you can easily pull into today's agenda. Thi

Drag to extend / shorten duration of events is on my todo list; it would definitely improve the interface. It seems like Google Calendar syncing is something everyone is looking for. I'll be sure to focus on that. Thanks!

It's using Django on the server and Backbone.js on the client. It was quite a pleasure to code with these frameworks, actually. As for your suggestions, I totally agree with all of them. They are all features I would love as well, and I hav

Sure, that would be no problem (it's already built on a REST interface). How do you think other projects would use this?

Thanks! I was wondering how to spread the word about this. I think Lifehacker would be interested too. I'll be sure to contact Sebastian Marshall.

Thanks for your feedback! 1. Yes, I will definitely be making a mobile version of the app. Maybe it can be part of a paid plan? 2. You can actually already plan any day of the calendar. Just click on the date of the agenda to edit it. 3. Yu

Here's a quick description: Timeslot is a cross between a Todo list and a calendar. Simply add items to your day's agenda, and specify how long each will take. Timeslot will automatically generate start and end times for each item, so when

I personally find that having a deadline increases my productivity. If I feel like I have unlimited time to work on something, it rarely gets done until the last minute.

Hi, Chetan here. First off, thank you for your opinions. About Colemak, I think a bunch of the replies to your posts hit the nail on the head. It's been a really rewarding switch, and I can still type QWERTY fine when I have to. As for biph
