Looking for UX feedback on Find a slot app

Thanks for your kind feedback. And I'm glad you're asking.

I think I'll need to clarify that somehow for first-time users. But you'll get a better idea if you create an event, and then paste the URL in a different browser. That way you will emulate the experience of two people exploring their common time slots (in real-time, but works async as well)

I've just recorded a video to showcase that: https://www.loom.com/share/92a9e760999e48eeb0ce939f72e1cdee

So, the calendar is a shared calendar. One person will set up the days/hours matrix for the rest, but it's supposed to serve a group of people. Think in a band that needs to rehearse. Or a team that needs to make a retrospective.

We are also using this calendar to find suitable times for 1:1s in our teams. If you select a couple of users you'll see their share time slots. And you can schedule right away with each people individually.

Regarding monetization, I'm not really thinking about it yet. Maybe I could create a pro version for someone if interested. And build from there. Like, supporting different timezones, customizing the theme, and changing the site name/domain, adding auth with Gmail, Azure, things like that. I don't really know what kind of features people could want so I don't want to overcomplicate the project unless there's a concrete client asking for changes.

So this version will live as a free service, and by now I'm using it to learn different aspects of projects creation.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

Yeah, I understand it's not self explanatory if you are a new user. I developed this after using a similar app, called When is Good, and trying to improve the UX. It works for our enterprise because we know the purpose of it, but I have to decide how to explain the system to first time users.

The banner and the button for first time visitors feels reasonable.

I wonder why you mentioned don't trusting the page. I mean, it's harmless, so I'm interested in knowing a little more about that feeling you had.

Thanks for that suggestion. Yeah, I think that would work fine. Because I wanted to avoid a landing page to reduce navigation.

So, I guess I'll dimm the content a little and add inline boxes to explain some main features. And that onboarding process would be displayed for new users only.

Hey, thanks, that's great feedback. Really valuable.

I think I can make the purpose clearer for people when they first land by adding some banners, or an onboarding like @nickvd7 suggests.

I never thought about the Primary call to action you mentioned before. Makes a lot of sense. I'll have to think how to implement it.

Regarding the settings panel in mobile, I think it makes to have it when you are creating an event, yeah.
