Hi ProductHunt!
There is no shortage of scheduling tools: @Calendly , @Cal.com , @TidyCal , etc. They are great and functional. I had a dream of creating a scheduling page, seeing which people would say: "Wow! This is really beautiful, I want one for me!". This is where TimeTuna is if @Calendly was as beautiful as @WeTransfer . People say that now about @TimeTuna.com . I am glad.
You get for free:
- One of the most beautiful scheduling pages out there
- Custom photo / video backgrounds
- Sync with all calendars you have write access to (Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook)
- Automatically added Google Meet or Microsoft Teams link depending on the host calendar
- Email confirmations and 1 day reminders
For 10 EUR / month or 60 EUR / year:
- Removing TimeTuna branding and adding a custom logo
- Customisation of the fields to fill before the booking
- Customisation of confirmation messages
- Sync with read-only calendars

Peace. Love. Gorgeous scheduling.

P.S. Bookva.ai has rebranded into TimeTuna.com. Why? Many people thought Bookva is a poor name for a scheduling service, one person said it sounds like a middle-eastern dish ("one kebab for me and one bookva for my friend, not spicy please"). The catch? Many people believe TimeTuna is a poor name too. Don't ask @pavelk2 for a naming advice.
@pavelk2 Wow Apple Luquid Glass style looks great! Cool features to stand out amongst competitors too

@bekjon_ibragimov Thanks!
Great accompaniment for apple's glass effect. 👍🏻
I think it's a great trend to be design-focused. Was it hard to develop the scheduling engine? These guys like Calendly, Calcom, etc, have huge teams to make it.

Hey Pavel, @pasha_tseluyko !
Thanks for reaching out! The fun fact about the glass effect is that it is not inspired by apple's glass. I did some prototypes with Lovable in the end of May with that effect, and in the beginning of June Apple released its glass-design style :) I find it a cute coincidence.
I would say the scheduling engine was not hard to implement. The functionality is relatively basic, as most of the things are done by Google Calendar. I had some challenges processing various time-zones, working with multiple calendars, and especially making it work with Microsoft Outlook Calendar in the same codebase. Otherwise I would say the back-end is relatively straightforward!

Looks amazing! Great design and execution!
Does this work for booking an appointments in general?
Or is this geared towards one-on-one meetings?
TimeTuna.com
@avloss thank you!
The primary focus is 1-1.
Some people use it for more than 1-1, such as they book a meeting room, rather than a person.
We aim to expand from 1-1, to multiple host meetings, and still learning how to make group meetings better. There are a lot of tools for group scheduling, but people are still unhappy about them, so I am happy to find a better solution. If you have ideas - please book time with me to discuss it together: https://timetuna.com/pavel.

Thank you very much, @neelptl2602 !

It looks great! I noticed there’s a missing loading state while available slots are being fetched. On slower networks, all dates appear unavailable during this time, which could make users think there are no available slots and leave. Adding a skeleton or a small loader would help indicate that the data is still loading.
TimeTuna.com
@julien_rioux thanks for the feedback! I have implemented your recommendation. Should be in production in 3 minutes.

@pavelk2 Just checked it. The loading state definitely improves clarity on slow networks. Nice work 🙌
TimeTuna.com
@julien_rioux thank you for your suggestion :)
This looks really so beautiful 😍

@oezguercelebi Thank you so much! It means a lot! That was our intention to build a trully gorgeous scheduling service!

That WeTransfer feel is spot on. My clients care about the invite looking good, not just the link. How heavy are those video backgrounds on mobile/slow wifi? Outlook support is clutch. Name made me grin. Will try it on my next kickoff.

@alexcloudstar
Hey Alex, thanks for the feedback!
If you use videos from Pixabay, and you expect people opening your pages with a slow connection - then you can choose there links for videos with smaller resolution. After some time we probably can make it dynamic that depending on the screen size a differen video size would load.
@TimeTuna.com Love the emphasis on aesthetics and design. scheduling shouldn't be boring! One question for growth: what's your strategy to get enterprises to switch from Calendly when integrations and API access are so critical for them? Also curious about your pricing model compared to the incumbents

@imraju
Hey Raju,
Thanks for your curiosity.
Rather than focusing immediately on big corporations, we decided to go after smaller niche companies (e.g. casting agencies, VC funds) who do a lot of scheduling, and currently we aim to be the best solution for them. When we achieve that we will start thinking how to go after big companies (especially recruitment and sales), but this is not a priority for now.
Writingmate.ai
Love what you're doing @pavelk2 . Such a stylish, light design. The big players definitely lack this.

Thank you, @sergey_vysotsky for the continuous support! I learnt a lot from you and Artem :)
I've been using this for a few months and really like it. Pavel promptly responded when I ran into issues early on. His UI/UX is better, I really like is that people who want to book time see week days and available daily time slots on the initial display. Most others start with a monthly calendar which adds an unnecessary click.

@jayhemmady thank you so much, Jay!
