It looks good, very similar to Emery. I have a few suggestions:

- I want this to work offline, or I will never pay for it. Many reasons:

-- No way I'm sharing my work calendar with you(your service) my dude, is actually against company(Google) policy. Many engineers at FAANG and FAANG like (big tech ) companies will love to use such tool(at least I will), they can afford it, and many of them have a strong online presence and can advertise your product for free ( the same way they do it for Obsidian, for example). So you pretty much dropping a huge chunk of your customer base.

-- User's data belong to them, many people organize their lives with this type of tool, and what they write there, is not our concern nor you should have access to it.

-- Is not too hard to implement client sync, and you can actually offer it as a premium feature.

- I know you are just starting up, but maybe you can offer a free trial without logins, so people can try your products without having to make a fake account?

- Also, a way to import calendars from Exchange, Apple, Google, ...

Congrats for the launch, it looks good. I will follow your journey, if the product change, I will buy it for sure. Love to support small hackers.



Thanks for the feedback! It's free by the way!


*you only pay with personal information that can/will get monetized later on (bait and switch)?

I personally would like to try it, it does touch a nerve. But I only use selfhosted services. Have been burned in the past by "free" services that went away.


We don't and won't monetize personal information. Our plan is to launch a paid product for businesses next year.
