Here's a strong opinion (though not a purple cow): "All scheduling should be done by phone with a physical person." Which is pretty much true for every medical office everywhere.

Here's a purple cow and strong opinion: "All scheduling should be done via blockchain." Since what we really need is an immutable record of meetings... There's no reason for this, but I'm sure it'll get attention (and funding).

I'm being cynical, but altogether agree with you. It's worth being different.

It's a shame because I do agree with the premise. Opinionated software is easy to use and therefore quickly carves out a niche with like-minded users.

We often hear about unpopular opinionated product decisions, but would love to read some good real examples where the PM has gone out on limb and it paid off.

Less and less so in Germany. And I love it, online appointment systems are far superior.

The way I understood the article, the mentioned calendar software `Makes scheduling collaborative instead of a nuisance.` by having strong opinions about how a calendar should work, and building those into the product. The quote "Makes scheduling collaborative instead of a nuisance." is not supposed to be an example of an opinion.

Thanks for those other references. Going to go check them out.
