Hey everyone, I had this idea months ago but kept overthinking it. Everyone needs a scheduling tool, but they all look the same, boring links, generic calendars, and no way to stand out.

Finally decided to build it. Kept it super simple:

- A booking page that looks good (custom branding, background images, and banners). - Widgets to add videos, images, social posts from X/Linkedin, YouTube/loom videos. - Pre meeting questions to let only qualified leads see your calendar.

Launched it Sunday night, posted on LinkedIn, Reddit, and Twitter, and went to bed. Woke up to 100+ signups and messages from people asking for integrations, features etc. Spent the day improving it, and by the next night, we had 500+ signups.

The biggest lesson? Just launch. I had so many ideas but forced myself to start simple. Let users tell you what they need instead of over engineering upfront.
