Timeful

What's up Product Hunt, I'm Jonathan, co-founder of Schej! As college students, my co-founders and I often experience the problem of finding a time to meet for group projects and club meetings because everybody has different schedules, club commitments, weekend activities, etc. Currently, college students like ourselves gravitate towards two main platforms: When2Meet and Lettucemeet. These platforms gather a group's availability and then display the best times to meet. However, there are several issues with these platforms. When2Meet is very simple to use, but its UI is not very mobile friendly and looks like it was designed in 2012 (spoiler alert: it was). When using When2meet, we would often have to tab back and forth between the When2meet and our Google Calendars to tediously manually fill out our availability. Lettucemeet, on the other hand, has a much better UI and actually does support importing your Google Calendar events. However, when talking to users of Lettucemeet, we found out that next to no one knew about the Google Calendar integration and simply used it for its improved UI. Furthermore, even when using the Google Calendar integration, it only had support for a singular calendar associated with a singular Google account. With all of these problems in mind, we created Schej, a scheduling platform that allows you to autofill your availability with your Google Calendar(s) to determine the best time for your group members to meet. We wanted to not only highlight our pretty UI and mobile friendliness, but also emphasize our Google Calendar integration front and center. Our greater vision for Schej is to leverage the power of calendars (with a focus on Google Calendar right now) to become the best scheduling assistant. Imagine being able to create a group that would allow you to continuously check group members' auto-updating Google Calendar availability each week. Imagine that instead of having to translate your calendar's availability to text, you could automatically screenshot blocked off times or copy-paste your availability on certain days in text message format. The possibilities are endless and we're just getting started! Let us know in the comments if you have any feedback for Schej or our greater vision for the product! Let's Schej it :)

i broke my leg and had $5 in my bank account and after using schej my leg magically healed(although i still have $5 in my bank account).

Congrats on launching Schej @jony1266 Schej seems like it will solve the scheduling hassles faced by college students and the Google Calendar integration is prudent. I love the vision of the platform evolving into a comprehensive scheduling assistant - neat roadmap. My biggest question is how do you plan on getting users to switch from their already existing processes to adding an additional software or what can be seen as an added step to solve an issue many might not even feel they have?
