Is the final image on the splash page demo (with the car) from Cal Ave in Palo Alto?

Yup

What would close the gap between "closest" and "perfect for you"?

Here's my calendar for the week.

Red = External (Very Likely, I need preparation + Notes). Blue = Internal Green = 121 Session etc. Black = Self-Blocked to Stop People trying to Add me to Calls

Basically, I have 40+ events a week. If I have to go through each one and self-organise when I already organise in my Gmail calendar via Color Coding, it would be huge barrier for me.

I ended up loving the interface, but the extra work I was creating for myself to "filter" and prioritise which activities needed Tasks was a deal breaker for me.

At Sunsama we address this directly in our pricing: https://help.sunsama.com/docs/pricing-manifesto

Shutting down or acquisition is the norm for calendar/task tools.

You can add Cron to your list too. They were just acquired last month by Notion. I think Cron had more traction than Sunrise/Woven too.

I've used ngrok every single day for ~8 years for work and didn't have the slightest clue how it worked. I'll still be paying for it but I learned a lot reading this.

I disagree, since it was spread orally and these texts were widespread in the subcontinent you could measure the similarity in different current renditions. If you looked at enough people's renderings you could even get a sense of how the transmission corrupts over time.

I'd been wondering if Hey.com was taking off after so much fanfare and drama when they released. The fact that they're doing this for an inherently viral product which had a massive launch probably means interest has now subsided?

Nice little growth hack, I see you cover all the HN launches on your YT Channel!

No, only the ones I like ;)

Thanks for being so frank. Perhaps that section needs to be re-written since Sunsama doesn't do reminders or use any sort of any algorithm to prioritize your tasks. Instead, we provide a guided daily planning workflow that nudges the user to make good decisions about what to do. In fact, one thing we feel strongly about is that you will make a better decision about what to work on than an algorithm.

We put this in place so that folks aren't going through the entire product onboarding which takes several minutes only to find out later there's no way to add an Outlook calendar.

>> only to find out later there's no way to add an Outlook calendar.

I haven't even looked at it but seeing this in the comments means I can't use it. Many (most?) of your target "elite professionals" are running Outlook in the enterprise.

That's true and one of the reasons we're keen to add an Outlook integration ASAP. We're a tiny team of five so building an integration with Google and Outlook from the get go wasn't feasible.

You might consider using something like Nylas to handle all the different calendar APIs at once. Not sure if their pricing is workable for you though.
