Hello Focusmate community! Thank you so much for this platform and this service. I missed my first session last week and received the "Are you okay" notice when I logged in again. I was *not* okay and I found that you canceling my upcoming sessions with time enough for people to be rematched until I clicked the "I'm okay" button to be so helpful and allowed me to avoid feeling bad for leaving someone hanging, hoping to be rema.ched.
I love Focusmate and its ease of use: Log in, book a session, work. While the upgrades have all been great, please don't try to make FM a total productivity tool able to manage task lists, and reminders, and group work, etc., unless you are confident you can keep it simple in its execution. While I like the favorites feature, I find even the Groups to add a layer of complication that isn't really necessary. For me, meeting people from all over who are all working in whatever way they need to is a helpful reminder that we're all just trying to get by in the world and a little patience and sacrifice (a very little!) can do so much for the whole community. I think a robust snooze feature and maybe encouragement for people to identify what type of work they're doing/want to be matched with in their profile would go a long way to addressing some of the issues I hear about from other users in the FM Facebook community.
