It took me quite a long time to find out what the product actually does. There is a lot of info on why to choose it, but only a quote from a customer mentions that it is a "scheduling & booking platform".

I'm still not sure that's what it is, but I'll take Mehmet Arziman's word for it.

Fancy website that does not work in my Firefox and does not work in my Chrome and does not work in my Safari. The content is only shortly visible and then immediately fades away. Please, less fancy for more better UI and accessibility.

Have to refresh, it did that to me. I think it might be uBlock or decentraleyes, or just a broken site :)

Yeah, on the first load I actually ended up with a completely empty page. Only on a reload I actually saw the content, and it still shows up painfully late when scrolling around (and disappears?!).

Like, it's not even that important. Just disable the effects, and you'll improve the presentation 100x.

Congrats on launching - this looks very promising!

I immediately understood what this was. That is not a brag at all, but I just happen to be a paying user of Calendly, so "Open source Calendly" was perfect for me.

I an curios to see how complicated it is to wire it up with Coogle Calendar and Office365 connections.

I will take it for a spin. :)

I've tested it on Chrome, Firefox and Safari and all three work. We've removed the animations regardless. Does it work now?

Works great for me, this is of course after you disabled the animations. Quick work! And a much needed idea and nice site :)
