Re:Show HN: Beautiful countdown and shared calendar app on Wednesday August 07, 2024 @12:11PM (#41182787)
Hi everyone!

Outside is a beautiful yet powerful countdown and shared calendar app. People use it for personal productivity to always have something to look forward to. But events can also be shared with friends, family or a partner to have one place to organize important events together.

You can sync events from your calendar which helps to make the most important ones more visual, fun and a widget on your home screen. We started Outside to help people get outside and with people in person. Right now we've been mostly focussed on first helping people feel excited about what's going on in their live and gradually add use cases which could work well with close friends, family etc.

Curious to hear feedback if you try it out. Currently on iOS only. Will add web/android in the future.

Busy making changes to new app and need feedback before I start full steam

Hi all,We have been live for about 3 months now which has been going really well. Getting good traction from event organisers but we feel that we have more work to do to really keep retention high and give it that more "word of mouth" growth feels.Venteo is a way for you to have all the pictures taken at an event e.g. a birthday party where you want to see everyones perspective straight away....

Hey Peter,

1. Facebooks shared albums are limited to 50 users with a max of 200 pics. The average person at a gig takes 20+ pictures as an example. FB shared albums cannot cater for this.

Also with Facebooks shared albums its limited to your own friends, on Venteo its an open platform where people can collaborate in the same album because they are attending the same event.

2. Good point, when I tell people about this they always ask "really, how do I find it". FB have never really marketed it nor ever made significant improvements since day 1.

Should We Focus Bottom Up or Top Down?

Hey,At our startup we have had our product live for about a month now. In order for us to get users we have been trying both approaches;1st) Target event organisers who then advertise the app for attendees to use.2nd) Try to contact users to use the app for their own purposes.For us we are having really good success going for the first option as event organisers & marketers love the...

Same can be said for everything pretty much. The question is: Are any of them doing it well enough for people to actually use it?
