And, as always, AMA.
never has anything rang truer
So I’m working on a universal progress bar HUD
- inspired by World of Warcraft raid mods
- fun sound effects for job start, end, error, and milestones
- can quick jump back to relevant app/tab
- starting with terminal commands and Claude code, cursor agent next
* Install App
* App cannot passively READ messages
* When I need to use the app, like in a group chat where we are spontaneously planning an event, I can invite it into the chat so that the group can input their preferences
* Other group members (who may also need to install the app) can interact with the widget to submit their planning prefferences
* Widget then WRITES results back to the chat
Does it ever read my messages? Does it ever write messages to the chat? Does my entire group chat need to install it?
Great work. Seems well targeted and that it could help a lot of folks.
The only message that is written to the chat is when you hit submit. There is no external service as all information is stored as metadata on the message itself. I did not want to have an external server (which has its own challenges, see in another message around collisions).
Your entire group can see the message but in order to interact with the poll they will need to download the app. They will be redirected to the app store if they do not have the app after clicking.
It seems like a very polished and better integrated version of https://www.when2meet.com/.
You say you do not collect info. Are you saving the meeting details and availability in a database?
this leads to some issues with potential collisions like if two people click the Whenish message at the same time and submit their message, there is no way to merge both that data. while this is an issue, i wanted to err on the side of privacy as much as possible and not rely on a server at all.
On the app itself, I don’t understand why it allows selecting past dates in the current month (e.g., Why al I allowed to select May 1st?) I can understand allowing a day or so to account for time zone differences, but usually people across large time zones differences wouldn’t be the audience for this app since it doesn’t allow for availability by time of the day.
i release ios apps under an LLC in hopes that one day an app will make money and i would rather that be associated with an LLC.
good question on past dates! i will fix that :)
if anyone knows about this (i remember i saw a warning by Apple) please let me know!
