got the invite, aaaaaaand another disappointment.
it's tough to make a good calendar. But it's also easy because you know how - take google's, fix it's most obnoxious issues and start improving and adding features.
But you can't build a feature without having the basic things and have people jump calendars. It's too much in the life's workflow, too much of a friction to switch.
@petergreeny Hi Peter, what are the core features that you need and that Kin doesn't handle at the moment? Don't hesitate to email us at hello@kin.today.
@troblous@kin
re-installed again and gave it another few minutes (more than most users would if they didn't like something from the first try). A couple of things i'd suggest:
- Add the 3-week view (i personally use only that view)
- Let me undo changes or deletings
- Let me better control what events I see and how.
- The worst: connected facebook, see invites - great! can decline - even better! but then they stay on my calendar - wtf. Especially love the ones that span for 1 month.
- Allow me to change event details inline
- Design it up. There are 100s of UX little things that will make this cal better than the others. The popup that opens with edit info - you can't tell to which time slot it relates. I'd just re-use google's approach of a lil window "under" the mouseclick (and hide the map under an extra click - it's too noisy)
@petergreeny Thanks a lot for your feedback, that's exactly the kind of thing we need during this beta 👍🏻

Do you have additional media to demonstrate the value of your app? The images in the media section here are unclear. I'd love to see a video or stronger images that demonstrate the value proposition. It must be pretty amazing if it's got over 1,000 votes.
@khw77 We don't have any video so far. We're focused on our beta and on getting feedbacks to improve. Sign up and then DM us your email address on Twitter (@Kin_Today) for more info 😉

Hey, I got an invite recently but now I am having problems logging in. Am I required to always use the link give to me in the email? I don't see any option to log in on the default site.
I've been freaking out for several months because I couldn't find a suitable calendar replacement for Sunrise. When I found Kin about 2 weeks ago, I finally felt relieved that someone was stepping up to fill the large hole in my life that Sunrise is leaving behind!
It's not up to the par that Sunrise set quite yet, but they have a very solid start and are improving on it rapidly, so I'm sure they will get there in the coming months.
@thomas_howard1 ...and we aim to continue improving it rapidly 🚀

People are too busy these days. A clean calendar or a calendar with just one square or rectangle is a life I want to live. Red, yellow, purple, green...damn... where's time for fun, kids, sleep?
