Isn't that just a bit wise AND?
Try having actual time ranges, not just slots, and you need to find, say, a 30m contiguous block of time.
(just examples of what i might consider when setting up a meeting manually)
Does anyone know why Calendar is getting a ton of new features on mobile but the web app gets no love?
I find them annoying. Not long ago, I would tap the + icon on the calendar to add a new entry. Then a few weeks ago, they added an intermediate step: Do I want to create an Event or a Reminder. What's the difference? Who knows, but it was a stutter step in my expected workflow. Now this week I have a third choice: Goal. My needs in a calendar are very simple: I want to be able to enter a description of something happ…
It sticks to the basics and integrates well with Google Calendar

There might be a really clever hash you could build, but it's actually a somewhat complex problem. Finding an overlapping range between two entities is easy... finding it for n-entities is a bit more difficult particularly if you want to do it efficiently. I can imagine a couple of answers.. you can build a lookup table (which makes sense if the time resolution is low enough) and then find gaps in it. It's actually a…

Took long enough. This has been a part of outlook and exchange for a decade.

The web app already has this feature, and also got the reminders feature. I kinda don't want a refresh - I like the current high information density.
The single necessary feature that the web calendar lacks is the option to enable infinite scrolling (much like the osx Calendar app). I constantly find myself toggling back and fourth between months, like at the end of this current month, where I see Saturday but Sunday (May 1).

It is still just a bitwise AND

It is still just bitwise if you model the time slots e.g. like one bit stands for 5 or 1 minutes and then look for some contiguous 'free'-block in the result
> But scheduling meetings on the go is still difficult Really? Is this really the biggest challenge in anyone's day?
Also, when one person's schedule changes it can have a cascading effect.
In the end, all of this scheduling work get in the way of doing real work. I for one welcome anything that makes scheduling trivial.
