Y’all can’t even imagine how bad healthcare IT is. Multiply all these problems by the cost of human life.

If you think you’re frustrated imagine a heart surgeon trying to access a patients file but their password keeps getting rejected.

Or they were forced to change their password monthly for sECurItY and theY can’t remember it. And the reset process involves calling the Hospitals IT Helpdesk

Most excellent, thank you. My biggest blocker to getting started was the setup of a “google app”. Getting a token and all that.

Is it fairly straightforward to start making rest calls? I’d love to just hit that api

I instantly got it. Maybe you don’t schedule a lot of meetings. I have to schedule 3 meetings on avg a day _I think_.

Found I have the same issue. Customer facing folks have it even worse.

As much as I love the solution what I really want is a cli that’ll spit out my meetings OR my free time.

I.e I could say: cli --free 60m —today

And it would spit out the 60 minute chunks (in my time zone). Would love to copy paste that but not sure how hard it would be to do with the google api

I built something like this to use locally and I found it to be one of the most useful tools. For me the Search feature is what really did it, tagging articles so I could look them up later was amazing.

I used https://github.com/olivernn/lunr.js/ so the search had great functionality locally. Is there going to be anything like that?
