This is my first product release. The whole thing took about a week to design, develop, and release. I'd love some feedback.

I'd have liked to see some sort of screenshot tour (or a product video as there is presumably a real-time component) before signing in - there's very little detail available, which might be good for conversion, but it meant I didn't click the button.

(When I did, I was given a "sign in with Google" chooser - did you consider telling people what is going to happen before they do that? It might seem obvious, but it might put people off too.)

Also, have you considered per-domain pricing? With the demise of Appointment Slots, this could be something you could sell to a Google Apps for Business customer for all their users.

I had this idea in my mind as well. Could you support a feature that hides all information on the calendar except times? I don't want my appointment makers to know my life story.

This is not clear from the marketing materials, but it does do this currently. That is something I should change.

My first priority is working on a better marketing site, which means a product tour; I realize this is lacking.

Per-domain pricing seems very interesting, I will look in to it, thank you!

I have this pain point. I was hoping for API docs and a live chat or contact us section...

In my case, I'd like to allow customer service candidates who have passed initial skills test screeners to be prompted to select a primary and secondary scheduling slot and have those selections pushed to gcal.

As another commenter noted, your site doesn't really give much away, I too would need to see screenshots or a product video.

Also when I click on the Pricing link at the top it's not immediately obvious I just jumped past your product feature blurb to a #anchor. It says "All this for only $10 a month. Checkmate." and I thought, "All what?", then realised I needed to scroll up.

I'd suggest dropping the requirement for payment info in order to start the free trial.

I was going to try it out on my calendar - with a colleague in mind. I don't schedule enough appointments to make it worth it to me, and I'm not really interested in giving you my CC details just to test it for someone else.

At the very least, you should make the demo link easier to find.
