Good. Keep pushing forward, of course. I read everything published on the site and I'm still not sure how does this work. The site sends emails with icl files attached?
- sunjain 25d agoCorrect. It sends email reminders, with Add to calendar link(ics can be downloaded and added to favorite calendar on phone/device). The thing about Whatsapp etc having the ability - none of these make recurring reminder easy. Focus of these apps is either in monetization or selling ads. Of course a calendar app can be used but then calendar does not initiate nudges. The friction is in the initiation. Each party thinks other should initiate.
- atmanactive 25d agoHmm, I'm not sure I would be able to persuade + educate all of my friends to open the email and consume the calendar event each and every time. Consider NTFY or Pushover or similar, those are at least set once - reuse indefinitely. Plus, they would enable users to set a unique notification sound which would then always be something special in their life.
- sunjain 25d agoNoted. Definitely worth considering. Also as chats have taken over the world, people don't open email for long time, and so much junk in email. I did have that at the back on the mind. I just did not want to the app to become too noisy, with text/SMS pings. Will look into NTFY/Pushover. Thanks for the feedback.
- atmanactive 25d agoGood luck. What you're building is definitely needed.
