Launch HN: Routine (YC W21) – Tasks, notes and calendar all in one product

bundling is another philosophy, like notion are doing. It works well because you don't have to context-switch as much.

unbundled (calendar/task/notes) applications are still available if that's your preference.

Feature request:

- Section: Agenda-view

- Feature: in the "free time" blocks where no event are scheduled, have the option (+) to create a new event in that free block of time.

- Source: viewed on web app

Hopefully that makes sense!

The application is re-inventing the wheel. Please look at any decent CRM system such as SugarCRM or Odoo or Dollibar or similar. Please notice that each of those systems have collaboration in first place and they focus on people who are sorted in groups or lists usually called "accounts".

Notes are related to people, accounts, opportunities, or other relational objects. Tasks are related to people, accounts, opportunities, and so on.

A type of a note could be call, SMS sent, received, note could be a task, and yes you can and should mix all the different types inside.

In my opinion best is to make the main table to be anything, of any type as that way you can just add a new type and continue with development. An entry in the same table could be a note, but also task, but also reminder or calendar. And why not make it a hyperlink to directory, DJVU file, PDF file, specific page in PDF file, EPUB, "Follow-Up" related to person, assigned task related to person Joe while assigned to person Jane, task assigned to group of people encompassing Joe and Jane and relate to company ABC LIMITED or Markdown, or plain text, or spreadsheet, allow uploading of files if you have not done so previously, a message ID that user can click, a video, or video to be played with specific times, or encrypted password, or the annoted WWW hyperlink, or online video, etc.

I can suggest to learn from other similar systems:

Hi, I'm just trying it out.

Few comments: - Can the Desktop/Mobile tasks/events/agendas sync, or is this currently being worked on?

- I want to be able to add a calendar event and be able to view it as an agenda (on the daily agenda), viewing an event or a task on the side seems to be counter-intuitive.

Installed it on my work machine now. We use Google Calendar at work and I much more rather look it using your App :)

It would be nice if I could connect my Apple-calendar with it as that's what I'm using personally.

Ctrl+space short key is nice but canceling it with esc doesn't work for me at least but I have to open the app to get it closed.

Also - I'd use it so much rather if it would be more independent from google. I switched off from Gmail this year so commiting to Google ecosystem this way isn't so nice.

Anyways, all the best for you. Let's see if this will be actually useful for me.
