Buttercal - Scheduling that doesn't suck

Scheduling kinda sucks.

Buttercal let's you send a set of time slots to person B, depending on that given meeting, or whatever your mood is for the day. Person B gets to make a choice and everything is good to go! 😊

Hey ProductHunt! I was a huge fan of the Sunrise Calendar Meet function. I loved it and used it for everything. I was kinda bummed out when they finally closed shop. When they finally pulled it down, I was thinking a good replacement would come about at some point. I’ve tried a bunch of stuff. Other solutions either felt too clunky or just didn’t feel right. So I kinda put Buttercal together as a weekend hack, so I could have something for myself, to make scheduling meetings super easy, something that feels like i’m still using Sunrise. So far, I love it! :) It’s pretty basic right now. If more people find it useful, I plan on adding some other simple things to make the experience even better :))) -Zach

@zachvanness Looks Amazing to me but... is it completely free?
Desmond Duggan
Yes! I've missed this since the Sunrise feature that did this went away. Zach, you should make this a ios keyboard extension 😁

@desmondduggan2 Hey Desmond! You are very right! That's basically the next item on the dev roadmap! :)))

Weeks start on Monday, not Sunday! I also find it confusing that when I hit the Today button, I'm brought to the current week but the current day is not highlighted. It takes me a few seconds to figure out what day I'm looking at. Finally, I'm so used to seeing all of my calendar events as one color in Google Calendar that it confuses me to see each of my events in a different color on Buttercal. It leads me to believe the the events in different colors belong to different people. I'd rather they all be a single color.

@magnuson Hey Charles! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and for all the feedback man! -As for starting on Sunday, I was trying to make it similar to the Google Calendar in that sense. -Ah, yeah, I should tweak that so that it does highlight the current day. -Ah! Yup, for the colors, I was just trying to make it look more colorful! :)

Zach, well done. It may need some work on how it's displayed on mobile. Otherwise, it's pretty much seamless. Definitely something I'll use in the future. Great work!

@bryansarnold Thank you sir! This really means a lot to me man! :) 2 of the next things that are on the pipeline are a better mobile version and an iOS keyboard extension :)))

I loved this feature when it was in the sunsrise (?) calendar. I've been waiting for someone to release a calendar with this. I just use Butter for scheduling... it's simple.

Pros:

I can choose the times that I make available when I send the person my calendar to schedule

Cons:

I have multiple calendars, not sure if that's supported.

easy to use and clean

Cons:

Hi Friends, nice app & simple design. How might this differ to Calendly, for example, which I’ve used rather heavily.

There's definitely a need for simpler solutions to a daily scheduling issues. Great to see someone coming at this with a fresh perspective!

Pros:

It addresses all the issues I've had with Apple and Google calendars. The UI is clean and super-simple.

Cons:

Curious to try it out with multiple meeting participants when trying to find agreeable conference times.
