Hi Edgar!. One question/feedback that you hopefully take in the positive light it is intended: what is the differentiating factor of this app? How is this different (today) to a shared Calendar? I do see the beautiful UI, but to gain just that I have to overcome the hurdle of not just installing the app and signing up, but also convincing every member of my party to do the same. Whereas a GCal or something like that is something that most likely everyone already has. I'm the type of person who if I'm adding a new app on my phone (and worse signing up!), there's gotta be a good reason behind it.

I love the potential here. I can see adding some unique features, like keeping track of flights / hotels / rentals... adding a splitwise-like "share expenses", etc. I'd like to know what is your vision/priorities for this in the future.

I don't know what the actual website is, but the Dungeon Master for my DnD group sent out a link to a collaborative calendaring website and all we needed was the link, and we just put our names in and marked out our availability. This really only worked because we didn't have to sign in or create accounts, just have the link. There are probably other low-impact ways to handle the authentication, I would probably just use a sign in with google page.

We currently have sign-in with google and apple but thanks for the suggestion of sending a link without a sign-in requirement. I do see how some people would like that better than downloading the app.

What tool was this? I’ve been wanting this tool for precisely this problem for some time and everything I’ve found is incredibly overkill

Sounds like doodle?

I really like LettuceMeet for that for our DnD group: https://lettucemeet.com/

I truly appreciate your response because this is the type of feedback and questions I'm looking for. If you take out the UI the main difference is group messaging which is a new feature but as I'm typing this I realized I haven't added this to the website.

My vision is that this will be the app everyone uses to travel with friends. Some of the things in the near term I'm looking to add is travel booking (hotels, flights, cars), AI where you type the location and the type of things you want to do to create a customized vacation, and voting on vacations before they are planned for example to see if my friends are more interested in one location compared to another. Also a share expenses feature is also in the future
