I bet they'd love when2meet.[0] It's a gem for organizing, completely free and zero sign-up required. It's really inspired me to push myself to see how far I could take "no signup required" in any app I work on

Cool that this was made as a ERP solution for their manufacturing business FIRST, and now that they’ve refined the idea somewhat, they are making it a white-labeled app. Following in some big footsteps! (Rails, AWS, React etc)

Interesting. This has a lot of features that appeal to me, automatically pulling certain data types with lists of backlinks seems great.
