Organising an event isn't organised. We have conversations everywhere, finding a time is Q&A, and everyone's calendars are out of sync. The pandemic has made this much worse. Ad-hoc encounters are at their rarest and a heavily scheduled week seems here to stay. Working from the office has even become an event in and of itself. Calendars and chat should be combined, so we—David, Joel, Rémi, Ryan, & Vince—built Onin 📆 💬. Today (my birthday 🎂!) we're coming out of stealth and launching our early access program. We'd love for you to join and to share your thoughts in the comments below 👇

@brod_ie Honoured and proud to finally reveal Onin to the world! Thanks all for the kind words and support. ✌️

@brod_ie So excited for this!!
Victor Metzger
Wow! This is exactly the kind of app I've been looking for. What a fantastic concept! I am excited to share it with my family and friends 🙌

@victor_metzger You're absolutely right. This is the exact reason I joined Onin. To help build something where friends and family can use for get togethers!
Filip Malypetr
Interesting! The plan is to become a substitute for [a messenger app] for the specific use case of organising get-togethers? Or will Onin become a complementary platform that can work with Gcal, Facebook events etc.?
Ryan Brodie
Maker
@malypetrcom Absolutely, we aim to become the destination for event planning & discussions but we expect you to "bring your own calendar" at first so we're useful day one (we are planning an Onin.me service though that will come with its own benefits 😁)
Liu Wing Sang Vincent
Maker
@malypetrcom We know people already have events in their calendar and don't want them ditch them entirely. Onin aims to play nicely with your existing setup making your experience seamless!🤟
Remi Masson
Maker
@malypetrcom you won’t need Facebook or any other messenger app to start scheduling stuff with your mates!
David Adler
Maker
@malypetrcom Great question Filip. You're right on both counts. Onin aims to substitute other messaging channels tailored for organizing get-togethers and it plays nice with gcal, outlook, facebook events and other calendar providers.

@mouna_selmi Thanks! Hard work has paid off!

That looks interesting, but I can't understand how it works (a tutorial video would be helpful). I suppose it has integrations with Google Calendar and some other apps and lets you manually add an event to the calendar while you are inside your chat? Is it how it works?
Ryan Brodie

@margarita_s88 Thank you for the feedback, today is all about announcing the company and our mission but you can get a good sense of the product in action at onin.co 😀
David Adler
Maker
@margarita_s88 Yes you're absolutely right! That's exactly how Onin works. There are some additional features like availability but that's the core of it!
Remi Masson
Maker
@margarita_s88 Integrations are part of it, but above all, the way we thought and build the app truly revolves around collaboration. We hope you’ll like it.
Margarita Shvetsova
@david_adler1 Thanks David! :)
Margarita Shvetsova
@rmmssn I need to give it a try and see more about the collaboration part ;)

@smbdrr Thanks Samy, we've found Onin to be so useful both for work and with friends & family. Incredibly exciting to be building a product that spans both!

@smbdrr Can't wait for you to finally put your hands on it!
Joel Pickup

@smbdrr Pleased to hear you agree! Excited to get it in your hands 😄

@smbdrr Thanks Samy. What do you think about the designs from our designer @rmmssn

Will this be free?
Ryan Brodie
Maker
@thinkdeleon Absolutely! 

We’re working on a freemium model where only “pro” use cases are paid (such as having multiple calendar integrations for availability sharing & sync). We expect 95% of users to never pay a penny.
Remi Masson
Maker
@thinkdeleon no cash required indeed!
David Adler
Maker
@thinkdeleon Absolutely, to start out all features will be free. What kinds of features might you be willing to pay for?
Philip Mann
A brilliant idea. Onin looks to be a brilliant solution to interminable WhatsApp groups for holidays etc. Very exciting.

Very lucky to say I tried Onin during beta and I cannot wait for the official launch! Once the main features will be expanded it will solve all my calendar headaches
Ryan Brodie

Thanks @axel_bagenal super exciting, we'd love to see the use case expanded to your artist following 😁

@omar_ramjan Thanks for the kind words !
Dawn Veltri
This is genius! For the last girls trip we planned, the planning took place in 4 different apps and there was so much back and forth because of the disconnect. Seriously useful!
Ryan Brodie
Maker
@dawn_veltri1 It hurts our OCD thinking how inefficient planning currently is 😂 Thanks so much for the support!
Liu Wing Sang Vincent
Maker
@dawn_veltri1 Exactly right! Saving bits of time and effort everyday for everyone amasses wasted resources! We will all end up with more time to spent at the end of the day with Onin!(if you are a frequent event organiser)
Dawn Veltri
@brod_ie You all should market this in mom groups. Moms plan events more than anyone else and would eat this up!
Joel Pickup
Maker
@dawn_veltri1 It's a nightmare to keep track -- hoping to solve all these issues for you and your friends very soon!
