What is the planned business model here? I see that this is published by an LLC and also that it doesn’t collect any data (the latter is great to know).

On the app itself, I don’t understand why it allows selecting past dates in the current month (e.g., Why al I allowed to select May 1st?) I can understand allowing a day or so to account for time zone differences, but usually people across large time zones differences wouldn’t be the audience for this app since it doesn’t allow for availability by time of the day.

im toying with the idea of maybe releasing more features in a premium upsell (one time $0.99 purchase or something like that). still ironing that out.

i release ios apps under an LLC in hopes that one day an app will make money and i would rather that be associated with an LLC.

good question on past dates! i will fix that :)

It would be neat if premium features could be attached to a group message without all contributors being required to purchase. Sort of like apples new events app which requires iCloud+ to schedule events but anyone can attend.

Side note, your calendar is showing wrong dates if the user sets their main iOS calendar to start on Monday instead of Sunday - your day titles never shift to match the date table which is presumably supplied through iOS.
