Blakefolgado··on Show HN: Beautiful countdown and shared calendar app
Hi everyone!

Outside is a beautiful yet powerful countdown and shared calendar app. People use it for personal productivity to always have something to look forward to. But events can also be shared with friends, family or a partner to have one place to organize important events together.

You can sync events from your calendar which helps to make the most important ones more visual, fun and a widget on your home screen. We started Outside to help people get outside and with people in person. Right now we've been mostly focussed on first helping people feel excited about what's going on in their live and gradually add use cases which could work well with close friends, family etc.

Curious to hear feedback if you try it out. Currently on iOS only. Will add web/android in the future.

Hey Peter,

1. Facebooks shared albums are limited to 50 users with a max of 200 pics. The average person at a gig takes 20+ pictures as an example. FB shared albums cannot cater for this.

Also with Facebooks shared albums its limited to your own friends, on Venteo its an open platform where people can collaborate in the same album because they are attending the same event.

2. Good point, when I tell people about this they always ask "really, how do I find it". FB have never really marketed it nor ever made significant improvements since day 1.

Same can be said for everything pretty much. The question is: Are any of them doing it well enough for people to actually use it?

Mariusz, hmmm I was looking for $14.5 billion but if $14 billion is offered it may change our mind. Mariusz this comment and prediction will be remembered forever!

In short btw, the app puts all the pictures you, you're friends or anyone attending the event into one album. No more asking your friends the next day "hey can you send those pictures from last night" NO MORE!!

Hey Getsaf,

Agreed, we are busy adding the new page about the app now which will also include the email. Just made the site quick but quickly realized we need to tell people what the hell it does! Thanks so much for the like on the logo, took many nights to come up with something we loved.
