Kitesurfing is faster (and more fun imo)!

How does this compare to using chrome-devtools mcp? I've been using that for validating UI flows and I haven't hit limits with Claude yet

Congrats on the launch! As design feedback, the demos don't seem to pass the "squint test" for intuitively surfacing the most important information / actions on the screen. Maybe a more specific walkthrough of a redacted / hypothetical scenario that's focused more on the user's decision-making process & actions instead of the kitchen sink of product features would better illustrate how/why things are laid out as they are currently.

Great job shipping this! The telegram interface is a nice touch.

Can you expand more on your frustrations were with something like Todoist (my personal fav) for meeting your success criteria? What are most todo apps getting wrong / conflicting with your preferred workflow?

Mainly because free/busy means different things in different contexts (i.e. work vs. personal vs. school) and so I wanted to keep any personal planning-related interpretations of busyness confined to this view.

That's a great insight that I've also been coming around to, although from the angle of needing to know which weekends fall within school holidays from multiple countries (cousins). You can toggle the visibility of midweek events (e.g. bank holidays) alongside the primary row of weekends but it would be sweet if you didn't have to in order to have the same insight. Thanks for flagging!

We would typically have this "year-level" view open alongside a scrolling month view in our regular calendar to have a more complete picture, but not to totally replace the normal calendar...yet! Tweaks based on insights like yours (alongside write-access) have slowly meant that we switch back to the traditional view less and less. It's a design goal, but only if it's actually a better experience overall.

haha, thanks - cheap & cheerful ftw

that's awesome to hear, thanks!

The screenshot is just a small snippet, zoomed in for clarity (and to avoid sharing PII from my actual calendar) but I actually see about 5 months ahead at a time with zero clicks/scrolling on my standard browser.

Also I find the horizontal timeline view helps to spot clusters of too-much-going-on more intuitively than the typical wrapped view of a calendar block.

Thanks for the feedback! - preview screenshot added just now. It's funny how easy it is to miss those simple things despite having looked at it for so long.

I think it's a sweet solution conceptually even if it needs a bit of work on the UI to be more intuitive. Not a designer myself, but I see the value in being able to indulge in a sort of binge scrapbooking.
