I just realized that this got reposted, so just getting to these comments.

I guess its clear this implementation is quite garbage and doesn't scale - I'm using Apollo GraphQL and polling for updates which is probably overloading the backend. Seems like the pages/content will not even load for many of y'all. Issues might also be from my Google Cloud Platform setup.. Will investigate tonight.

Really sorry to have wasted some of your time :(

Thanks to all giving feedback anyways!

UPDATE: Now thinking my MongoDB Atlas cluster was the problem. Did not expect many (or any) visits/requests, so I was still at the free tier which only allowed 500 connections at a time. Just upgraded so I'm hoping this solves some problems..

Longer explanation: I originally came up with the idea when I was looking for a new mouse for my WFH setup. There are hundreds of product review sites, but nothing like seeing what other people use. I know there are many popular subreddits like r/battlestations or r/workspaces, and even sites like deskhunt.com, mysetup.co, yourstack.com and kit.co, but I thought it be nice to have a dedicated site for this kind of thing. Not really sure what the differentiating factor is right now, but just wanted to get this prototype out there :)

Hey everyone! Built a site for people to share their desk setups and optimize their WFH experience. Posts, feedback, or bug reports are greatly appreciated!

1. Thank you for trying it out on those browsers - never thought someone would care enough to test it like this! Nonetheless, I really have no idea what's causing that.. I guess as long as the Google calendar events load in correctly its not a big deal?

2. Cool!

I guess I don't take enough meetings to need this type of complexity, but I'll add this feature to the icebox!

I'll see if I can do something about this, I am using react-big-calendar

Definitely! I'm a bit biased in trying to solve my GCal issues first, but if there's some more requests for outlook I can work on importing them

When I pull calendars from Google's API, I now set them visible based on your own visibility settings, should fix #2?

Thank you for the feedback!

Do you mean M/D vs D/M? I believe I've added that to the output formatting as another toggle

You let them view your entire calendar? Or are you able to filter which are visible

Thanks for the feedback!

That's definitely ideal. Effectively when2meet integrated with Google Calendar. Might be down the pipeline if enough people interested

Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to go for simplicity/intuitiveness but I definitely was not successful haha. I may add a howto button or something like you suggest.

And the title idea is cool! I'll see if that could work

Thanks for checking it out!

Added

Added DD/MM and combining availabilities

Added!

What do you mean by that?

Apologies for the false advertisement

Sounds like a cool idea too!

Thanks!

1. Yep, definitely an issue, I'm gonna try to have adjacent availabilities just combine into each other (also you can delete availabilities by clicking on them!)

2. I had not thought about that but that is something I'll fix soon also

Yes that is definitely a feature I can add in. I don't think I gave the instruction anywhere but you can delete an availability by clicking on it also. That should help the clutter

Thanks for the feedback! Totally forgot 24-hr clock was a thing, will add that as a option asap

Thanks so much for the feedback!

1. What browser are you using? I haven't gotten that before, so interested to see whats causing that

2. I definitely want to add that as a feature soon.

3. And yeah I've seen another app calendar.management do that, but I've found opt-in to make more sense imo. Something to consider in the future though

Really sorry, I deployed using Google App Engine, trying to resolve this now... :(

The article looks interesting, I'll have a read in a bit.

Also, the URL to send the encoded calendar is a great idea! I've thought about doing that before, but focused on just creating the message because I thought users would rather just get the text and be done with the site, but I think I'll implement it and see if people use it

Thanks! Yeah, this definitely doesn't solve the group scheduling problem like when2meet does. I think its also a bit frustrating to tab back and forth between my Google calendar page and the when2meet event to fill it out, maybe they should integrate also!

Thanks for the feedback!

1. Added some more timezones, but not yet comprehensive I guess

2. Added work_week option for desktop

3. Same as 2

4. Maybe in the future? But I think my original goal was to avoid links so you can send self-contained availabilities in an email to someone

Fixed.. Apparently Javascript Date objects index months by 0. Stupid on my part for not noticing until now

You are right! Can't believe I didn't notice this until now.. I'll take a look. Thanks for pointing this out!

Thanks! And yeah, a part of me wishes I waited for Google verification to post.. I'm too impatient for their "4-6 weeks"
