Reprime is a curated directory of 100,000+ interesting things happening around the world, that it can add to your calendar app to remind you of it. Be it airing of next episode of Game of Thrones or be it the next Tennis match, Reprime can add it all like black magic so that you focus on other important things in life.
It was a side project that silently gained more than 50,000+ users and we decided to give it a little more love and launch it on ProductHunt. I did a blog post about how we got these many users without even a launch: https://blog.reprime.io/the-invi....
Would love to hear your thoughts!

@mohitmamoria cool idea! Intro video could use some work though.
@mohitmamoria Your blog post is great, thanks for sharing your story. You achieved the dream of every Weekend Side Project Warrior - you built it and they actually did come! 👏👏👏
@amin_nazim Hey Nazim. It was a side project and we made the video on our own using a basic software. Great feedback! Will replace it with a better quality soon. 😺
@kleneway Haha. To be honest, the magic happened when we started providing schedule of Game Of Thrones. The euphoria was such that we also made some benefit out of it. 🙈

@mohitmamoria That's awesome! Looks dope in terms of color/transitions, just the content. Anyways, do you plan on giving users the ability to add their own events at some point? For example, "Hackathons in US/Europe" would be great. Some can be pulled from "mlh.io"
Love that this is simply an integration with the calendar rather than yet another app.
It also reminds me of something Sunrise experimented with (cc @jeremylv). I'm surprised we haven't seen more calendar apps include recurring reminders for your favorite TV shows, sports games, and other events.
@rrhoover Wohoo!! Your comment just made the day of the whole team here. We didn't see any point in spending months to develop an app just to solve one problem. Instead, after such good feedback and various ideas pouring in, we have flexibility to take this tiny idea in various possible directions. Our favorite is turning it into an AI assistant for reminders and daily organisation (Being a heavy calendar user, I still feel putting something in your calendar is a tedious task.)
Thank you for signing up for Reprime but you didn't seem to sync any schedules. How about syncing PH LIVE calendar to start with? (Link: https://repri.me/HmbrZ)
@jeremylv Hey Jeremy, would love to hear your thoughts on it too. I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND A BETTER CALENDAR THAN SUNRISE :) ❤️❤️❤️

@rrhoover gmail has very limited execution for professional sports but the extent of calendars here is simply amazing. Love how easy it is to search for categories and specific calendars too. How do you guys determine which calendar to create? I see an integration w/ Amino with minimum community threshold?
@wpschwarz Hi Will. Thanks for these amazing words. We currently maintain 9000+ calendars and plan to add 10000+ more in next 2 weeks. We determine what calendars to create by the searches people are making. We track all the search queries that return 0 results and if some particular query returns 0 results many times, we start curating events of that calendar. It was a tricky solution without having to ask users directly with a suggestion box (I haven't seen it working really well). Let me check out Amino. If you know those guys, can you introduce me? My email: mohit [at] reprime.io :)
Thanks @rrhoover & @mohitmamoria! This is a great start, our users loved Interesting Calendars in Sunrise and we added it into Outlook since then. Keep it up!

Reprime adds interesting things in your calendar so you don't have to struggle remembering them.
@jagan123 Hey Jagan! Thanks so much for being one of our early users. There are almost 10,000 new interesting schedules coming in next couple of week. :)

so easy to use.
Made one tap and all Indian Cricket Matches are now in Phone and Laptop.
Cheers to Reprime team, Thanks for the awesome product
@maninder_singh_taggar Hey Maninder! Thank you for using Reprime. We're glad we could remind of something that you're interested in. We'll again get back to you to suggest some new ones to follow in coming days. :)
Hey @mohitmamoria,
Just signed up. It appears amazing. So, thank you for building this :)
Few things to ask.
1. What's the future revenue model? I mean, I can't see any ads running for now. So, you may add few sponsored notifications in future or are you planning to do similar things as WhatsApp, or other Big Data companies are doing to make money?
2. As someone asked- Option to create a reminder by users? Or to add things to an already created collection?
3. Any plan to add basic reminders like Indian Holidays, big events, etc.?
4. I am also looking for birthday reminders by integrating our Facebook and LinkedIn data. Any plan?
5. How about reminders of Birthdays, the anniversary of big celebrities?
6. Current affairs reminders?
Thank you.
@niteshmanav I love your comment for two reasons - you've read all other comments and because your questions are very valid and will decide our next steps. So, let's dive in.
1. We're planning to experiment with two models
a.) Calendars for brands: Example - https://www.ketchupp.in/calendar... (open in mobile). Will charge brands to use our platform for reminders.
b.) If the Reprime user wants us to learn about them and suggest actionable items: Example - If you've subscribed to a calendar for all movies for Amitabh Bachchan, then, we'll tie up with BookMyShow may be to allow you to book the tickets. Will take commission.
2. Our next strategic step is to build a community around reminders. Thus, the option to create new calendars, add reminders to existing calendars will come (~1.5 months may be).
3. We're adding 10000+ more calendars in next 2 weeks. Most of this is included in it.
4. We've no plans for LinkedIn yet, but we are building a Facebook Bot next with also integrates your Facebook events with Google and friends' birthdays.
5. This is interesting one. Never thought of it. Initial thought - not sure if one person would be interested in birthdays of all the celebrities. And if one wants to follow just one celebrity, there'd just one event in an entire year. Let me think about its value to the end user and how we can do that if we plan to do.
6. Sounds valid. May be in the next batch after these 10000+ calendars, we will have current affairs too. May be in the form of - "This day in history" kind.
I hope I answered all your queries. :)
@mohitmamoria Thanks for the quick reply Mohit.
5. I can't say how much useful this is for normal users but social media owners; it makes a lot more sense. For example, I am from the media industry, and I need to write an article on Big B or on the death of Gandhi, your app can remind me about this two days in prior. Actually, a social media scheduling startup @promorepublic is doing this event reminder thing a long with may other features and it makes a great sense of media enthusiast to keep their audience up to date with the current happenings.
Few more questions, suggestions:
1. Can we set-up reminder time interval, what if I want a reminder of GOT 2 hours before, while I want to get three reminders for my girlfriend's birthday, first 72 hours before, second 24 hours before and third, just 30 minutes before. Are you looking into the ways to give users this power?
2. While looking the homepage or explore page, there is nothing like "Featured reminders" or any other kind of sorting options. What if I want to sort it based on alphabets or based on the number of users, based on demography, based on the date of creation, etc.loggedin?
3. There is no difference in the screen UI once the user gets logged-in which is kind of confusing. When I first logged in and then didn't noticed anything happening, I thought it's not working logged in again and then noticed a simple change which says- " USING WITH EMAIL".
You should make it appear like a normal logged-user with my profile pic in the top left with few options attached to it.
4. Also, in the logged-in profile, there should be a section called "MY REMINDERS" so that I can see all the my reminders at once. Currently, there is no tab/section to find all my reminders at one place. I need to go through all mixed reminders to notice that small green check mark which denotes my subscription. It makes very difficult to un-subscribe for any particular notification.
5. What if I simply want to see the reminders for my next 7 days or next 30 days? Do give us an option to display our birthday or holiday reminders for next few days option.
Thank you.
@niteshmanav Whenever I see such a huge comment, I get anxious a little bit. Haha
5. Totally makes sense. We believe data > opinions. We will create such calendars and see if we have reach to the target audience. :) If they start getting used, we will put more for each celebrity.
--
1. Once the calendar is scheduled with your calendar, you can edit the reminders for each calendar from the Google Calendar/iOS Calendar app itself. We don't fill the primary calendar of the user, instead, we create a separate calendar for each schedule you've subscribed to.
2. Explore page will be redesigned. Quite a feedback like yours. We need to rethink it and make it easier to navigate through calendars and categories. :)
3. Yes. Solid feedback once again. This was the v1. More like the crappy landing page for the robust sync engine. Will improve. :)
4. We've seen our users unsubscribing from their calendar app itself instead of coming to Reprime website to do it. But it'd definitely be convenient to do so from the website too. (Our v2 id definitely going to be better, thanks to your feedback.)
5. They can be seen in your calendar app itself, no? If there's a solid reason to mimic your schedule on the website, we'll think about it for sure. :)
@mohitmamoria Thanks for the quick and precise response. I will surely wait for these updates in your app. I was just scrapping more data about you and your other works/projects. You are indeed a hustler :) All the very best.
PS: Do expect a mail from my team of https://tomatoheart.com in few days to cover some related stories on you/your start-up. Cheers.
@niteshmanav BOOM! I love the tagline of TomatoHeart. I will wait for the email. Best way to reach me if on mohit [at] reprime.io :) Thanks a ton for this conversation, Nitesh! 😎
