This is the kind of tool I've been tossing up making myself. Such a great job! Quick, well presented. But, I wish I could correct the statistics. * I haven't had this email for a year (doesn't extrapolate) * My salary is much higher than $60k * I work a 37.5 hour week Also a way to combine meetings across my multiple email addresses would be icing on the cake.

Very well done, I always wanted to build a similar product. But all of those tools are always missing the most important feature from my POV: company wide statistics on meetings: - % of meetings per employees in time (i.e. are we more and more spending time in meetings since we are growing) - automatic employees group diagram/relations computation based on meetings invites - who's never in meetings (who's being solo)…

Depends on the service. Google allows us to invalidate the token when we're done, rendering it useless, so we do. You'll notice that if you run the stats tool again you'll have to re-authorize it for Google. Microsoft does not, so it will remain valid. We don't store it or log it anywhere, and the system that retrieves and processes data is not publicly accessible.

>We don't store it or log it anywhere I know you have good intentions here, but I hope you are aware that you may unintentionally be storing it somewhere [1]. Not much you can do about it unless you keep actively searching for it everywhere. [1] I strongly remember reading an article here on HN recently about some security breach stemming from writing production secrets in log files, but I can't find the link :/ If a…

Interesting. I have a product (unreleased, still in private beta) that's in the privacy space. I want people to know I care about their privacy, and that absolutely no information is given to third-parties. What's the best way I can get GDPR compliant? I know that GDPR isn't designed to crack down on products like mine, but I'm still legally required to comply. A simple notice saying user data isn't given to any thir…

Apart from a privacy policy I do not believe any notice is necessary. The "notices" you see on pages today are actually asking for consent to store data, but you don't need to do that if you aren't storing data. (IANAL) As for bragging about your privacy stance - well - that's a product design decision. Personally I'd probably do it on the "why you should use this" style pages and leave it out of any functional pages…

I like this a lot. A similar thing which I'm interested in tracking is the impact of meetings on flow state. I wonder if it would be helpful to have a more nuanced way for "makers" to protect their flow state time than having to block out their calendar for hours / days at a time. I envisage a system where a meeting booker is able to make the decision - "Is the meeting important enough to curtail or split this person…

Rob, I was so sick of this that I started a company around it! We're still early, but what Clockwise does is pretty magical: we rearrange meetings to protect flow state.
