Hey there! Are you crying because Sunrise is living its last hours? I know I do. These guys have been working on a replacement for Sunrise and, even if there is still work to do, their calendar is already working very nicely.
The reality of calendars is that we should stop looking at calendars, period. The technology exists to make this possible.
Meekan.com exists for a reason. When I want to meet with someone, it should be 2 or 3 clicks, and all the contextual details of my calendar should be "o-authed" in and the system should automatically prepare my phone call, skype call, or whatever without me ever having to look at an actual calendar or type in a pesky pin number.
SMS would be the best channel to manage all of this and the early adopter group should be encouraged to have ridiculously detailed calendar events with location/etc... recorded.
@datarade Sure, except no. Please no more SMS nothingness. More importantly, many people are visual learners/perceivers/etc. Looking at a visual representation of my day allows me to see a visual representation of my day. That's a good thing.
@zacdavies The iPhone app is in private beta right now, we aim to release a more public beta very soon. It'll be announced by email so that we can add people on testflight 👍🏼
I've been testing quite a few calendars since Sunrise announced that they would be closing. Kin is still pretty young but I like the direction it's going.
Take my upvote, and count me in to use it.
TL;DR: definitely Sunrise's next of Kin :)
@lucascerdan Thanks Lucas for all your feedback during the first weeks of work when things were just starting 😍
@lucascerdan Signed up, excited to try. Any essential features adopted from Sunrise? Any distinguishing ones?
@andym_dc @lucascerdan Essential: multi-accounts for Google and integrations: Facebook/Eventbrite/Meetup/Github/Trello. The distinguishing ones will come later 😉
@troblous
Couple of things to point out...
haha, cheeky:
Think you need to extend this block more than 2 hours today 😛

@ourielohayon iOS is in private beta, the public one is coming soon (you'll be notified by email). For Android, you'll have to wait a bit until this fall 👍🏼
@troblous @ourielohayon let's talk Yann - could be handy to partner with you guys :) - ping me on olivier (dot) plante (at) thingthing (dot) co
Just sent in an email requesting Basecamp 3 integration, can't wait to get an invite for Kin! Looks lovely, keep up the good work.
Thanks for trying to "make the sun rise" again ;-) - we've been in the dark recently
I've been using this for a couple of weeks now and it's the best Sunrise replacement I've come across. Can't wait for the iOS app. Great job guys!
Is Kin currently only available on web? If so, are Mac native and iOS native in the roadmap?
One of my favorite features that sunrise had was the calendar keyboard and the ability to past a link for the times that I was available.
Is there any chance this could be on Kin's road map?
@jameswahba It's a tricky feature that is in our "Ideas" backlog on our public roadmap: https://trello.com/b/RXCPcX7U/ki...
Depending on the votes, we'll put some resources to work on it in the future.
