Out of curiosity, would you prefer to see all the options laid out so you can quickly scan which ones would be optimal? Or would you prefer to click a button and then it just schedules the meeting for you?

#38Great UI design; clean, intuitive, and useful. Thank you for this!
On a side note, I'd really like to know what broken mechanism aggressively downranks such quality community submissions. 67 upvotes in 2 hours, and only ranked 9th.

I'd love to see more posts like this one, and fewer standard blog articles that are hitting the front page for the third time in five years.

I'd bet you will never find the answer to this.
