Some feedback for the team: I read the landing page, and think, "oh this could be interesting, let's try it". Hit the 'write my first note' CTA button. Next question is 'sync your calendar to get started'. No explanation why, and it only seems to accept Google. So I dropped out. Read the landing page again, and still I have no idea why calendar access is mandatory.

Thanks for the feedback :)

What makes our note taking tool special is that we send you an email before every meeting with all the notes you've taken about the person you're about to meet. Then you can simply write a new note by replying to the email.

This is why the calendar integration is required. Hope that makes sense!

Couldn't you use iCalendar (or h-event) files?

This could have been an option, but we wanted to prioritise ease of use :)

Aha. This definitely makes sense. Should make that more clear on the landing page!
