👋 Hey PH! I built Compass b/c I needed a way to combine my "What" with my "Why"; one where I could plan my week but also ensure that my schedule reflected my values. After 3 months of prototyping and talking to users, I made a huge mistake: >> I focused on making a calendar << I spent so much time building the features we all expect from a calendar that I didn't innovate much. By the time the calendar was good enough to add more interesting features, my morale and runway were too low to continue. Despite never reaching product-market-fit, I did build some of the most difficult aspects of a modern productivity app, including: 🔄 2-way sync with Google Calendar 🔄 Recurring events 🕒 Display events in local time 🏷️ Tagging events 🖍️ Resizing events 🖍️ Task reordering 🖍️ Drag & drop tasks & events 🖍️ Shortcuts ✉️ Email capture 🔐 Google OAuth authentication 🔐 User session management I got pretty far, but I didn't include all the features you'd expect from a calendar app. Here are some of the main things that are missing: - Sub-calendars (only primary calendar is supported) - Sharing - Location - Reminders - Mobile app I open-sourced all the code because 1) I couldn't sell it at a price I felt good about and 2) I want more opinionated tools like this to exist. I hope my code can make speed up the dev time for future devs. I gave it a helluva shot, but I didn't make my dream calendar app. But now that my code is public, maybe you can make yours. Thanks to the MIT license, you could even fork it, add your spin to it, charge for it, and grow it into a great business. All I ask is that you let me know once it's ready so I can finally stop using my Google Calendar 🙂

Congrats on your launch! I like your UI. It seems to be a free product, are you planning to charge customers?

Thanks, @naoto_shibata_morph. I initially planned on charging users, but after talking to a bunch of them and hearing how much they'd be willing to pay ($3.99-6.99), I decided against it. I would've needed much more users than I could reasonably reach. However! The code is open-sourced for commercial use (MIT), so anyone who fancies making some $$ can add improvements and charge for it under their own brand

At first, I wasn't totally sold. Then after hitting your landing page and scrolling a bit, I love it. Great meme/humour, solid design. Made me realise that sometimes I see people use fancy as an alternative to good. All the features look great, and I love the transparency of your launch notes "Here's the things that are missing" Congrats on the launch and love love love the name!

Congrats on the launch @tylerdane! I'm also working on building a calendar but for festival and as a mobile app so I know how hard it is. As a suggestion from a UI/UX Designer, use a contrast checker for the colors used in the calendar, most of them are not passing the minimum requirements on the dark theme to be accessible and completely readable. Good luck!

@claumarin Your festival app looks promising, good luck on the upcoming launch. Thanks for the point about contrast. I hadn't heard of contrast checkers before you and a few other UX Designers mentioned it. Will definitely try one out

It's really cool that you built Compass to combine your "What" and your "Why"! It's impressive that you were able to create so many important features for a productivity app, like syncing with Google Calendar and tagging events.

Thanks @a007mr, I really love using tools that are flexible enough to handle software data types (eg. 'to' or 'done') and human data types (eg. dreams, intentions, notes, fleeting thoughts).
