Love infra tools like this for businesses. What are the strongest use cases you're seeing (or imagining) for Qrono, @drewface?
Andrew Roberts
@rrhoover So far, we're seeing a lot of people use it to maximize the usage of spaces, especially non-traditional spaces that wouldn't work on existing platforms like AirBNB. (so think: phone booths, kitchens, couches, spare bedrooms, conference rooms, recording studio, hot desk...) Spaces are great assets to manage, because security is easy -- you can't steal a room or a building. And we don't put you into a marketplace, so people are using us for internal solutions, or for smaller communities. (For instance, one startup is using us as a "private AirBNB" for employees to stay in cheap corporate housing when visiting the HQ) One of the easiest things you can do with our platform is basically build a "calendly for your spare bedrooms and couches". Priya and I use it for this right now, and it's been convenient to send to friends, instead of trying to negotiate travel dates with them over text.

@drewface very cool. I like the concept of "unlocking" more spaces through software like this. Someday I hope to own my own small coworking space. Qrono would be useful then. :)

@rrhoover Send me a message when you start, we'll do a Collison Install :)

Hi Product Hunt, Priya and I are two engineers building the booking platform we wish we had at our previous companies. We’re launching Qrono in open beta to get as much feedback as possible on our first attempt :) Qrono is the easiest way to build a rental or sharing economy company. Basically, we’re a SaaS platform that handles all things booking-and-scheduling related, so developers don’t have to waste time debugging datetime, recurrence, and calendar libraries. 💡 How it started These days, it’s easy to take a good developer experience for granted, but we were surprised by the poor experience and buggy APIs of existing off-the-shelf booking platforms. It seemed like they were built for old school business, not a new generation of software-first rental companies. The goal was simple: make it stupid simple for developers, indie hackers, and early-stage startups to build rental and sharing economy companies. You should be able to ship something useful in 15 minutes, but also have the flexible tooling needed to scale to millions of bookings when you reach product-market fit. 🚢 How it works Honestly, it’s easiest to just see for yourself: Try [creating a rental page for your spare couch](https://docs.qrono.dev/docs/crea...), it’ll take <5 minutes, and at the end you’ll have something convenient to send your friends, on us. ❓ How you can help Our platform is rough around the edges, so you can help us most by providing feedback! If you’re interested in following our progress, you can track large platform improvements at [our public roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/Qrono-La...). Thank you, genuinely. I hope you are able to build something fun and useful using Qrono! - Andrew

We're a team of 13 and we only have 1 meeting room at our office. With Qrono we've been able to build a booking system for the room in like 30 minutes or so. That's awesome!
Andrew Roberts
@pavelgvay wow, that's so good to hear! I know our default hourly timerange picker is a bit odd at the moment. We're rolling out some new options soon, let me know if you have any feedback!

Super cool! Can totally see a world where barber shops and restaurants nationwide use qrono for all their booking needs. Like being able to embed bookings in anything ???? Absolutely genius!
Andrew Roberts
@iotambat Thank you! Yea, I'm really excited about the niche verticals Qrono can enable, like building booking systems for Barber Shops. Reminds me a bit of checkhq (https://www.checkhq.com/)

This is so cool! What’s your most mind-bending dream of what Qrono could power in the next five years?
Andrew Roberts
@jimmyeatcarbs So few of the objects in the world around us have easily parseable calendars, and so many of them collect dust most of the time. What a waste! The most mind-bending vision in 5 years is that we manage the time of billions of assets, and by doing so, we can reduce waste across all of them. Imagine if you could just point your phone at an object and pull up its calendar (this is already technically easy with QR codes)? If this became normal? We can automatically offer to put your asset in a marketplace if you don't want to keep it private. We can automatically suggest your asset to others, who seem to be searching for something similar in your area. We can write algorithms that optimize schedules to maximize the amount of useful time, and reduce waste. We can advertise for you, sell for you, and even request extra inventory from you when we think it would be profitable... We could decentralize entire markets! I'm excited to see how much more time we can get out of the things we build, when we are able to share with trivial ease.

Love the Qrono API - Andrew and Priya made it really easy to build powerful apps
Andrew Roberts
@jasontissera thank you!
Jake Zegil
Sorely needed solution for engineering teams who don’t want to build or manage the complexity of a booking system themselves. So happy to see this launch!
