@pupharleyqart.bsky.socialI guess I'm struggling forward. Sorry for the small delay I just wanted something a little bit more successful? Either way I'ma put this down for today and take a break.

@szamski.bsky.socialhora 1.1.0 is out.
Google Tasks live in the app now. A sidebar widget, and your tasks drawn on the Day, Week and Month grids next to your events.
Drag one onto the grid to give it a time. Tick it off anywhere, it's done everywhere.
@szamski.bsky.socialAlso in 1.1.0: Find a time.
Open the availability popover and hora reads every attendee's free/busy at once, lays their days out side by side, and offers the slots where the whole room is free.
One click puts the event there.
@szamski.bsky.socialDev-log: an event you blocked on another calendar showed up twice. Once as itself, once as a bare "Busy" row.
Two records, one meeting. The fix was picking which one is the original, and letting the block stand only when its source calendar is hidden.
@szamski.bsky.socialDev-log: Google Tasks stores a date. Never a time.
So when you drag a task onto 14:00 in hora, the hour has nowhere to go in Google. We keep it on your Mac and send Google the date it expects.
State you can't sync is still state you own.
@szamski.bsky.socialThings hora used to send you back to the browser for, and doesn't anymore:
→ your Google Tasks
→ booking a meeting room
→ finding a time everyone is free
→ proposing a new time instead of "maybe"
@szamski.bsky.socialOn a fresh install hora reads the settings you already have in Google Calendar. Week start, clock, default event length, hidden weekends.
It only fills in blanks. Anything you set in hora stays yours.
@szamski.bsky.socialGoogle Calendar can propose a different time to whoever invited you. Almost nobody does it, because it's buried and "maybe" is one click.
Most features don't fail on the idea. They fail on where they sit.
@szamski.bsky.socialBiggest release since launch, and most of the work in it was closing gaps, not adding ideas.
Tasks, rooms, availability - all things people were already doing in the browser tab next to the app.
What else are they still opening the browser for?
@szamski.bsky.socialhora isn't subscription-only.
$2.99/month or $29.99/year — your call. Both include Family Sharing and the iPhone and iPad apps when they land. And it's on Setapp, if that's how you get your Mac apps.
@szamski.bsky.socialhora 1.0.32 is out.
New right sidebar with an Agenda widget — today and tomorrow at a glance. Pomodoro and Keyboard Shortcuts widgets too, on/off and reorderable in Settings › Sidebar.
⌥⌘I toggles the right sidebar, ⌥⌘S the calendar list.
@szamski.bsky.socialhora Calendar now runs on macOS 15.
We launched on the newest macOS only. That was a mistake — plenty of Macs out there are a version or two behind, and now they can run hora too.
@szamski.bsky.socialDev-log: a calendar could sit empty while every sync reported success.
We sent Google a sync token for a calendar we had never seeded. Google answered "nothing changed" — correctly. Nothing ever loaded.
Fix: no token until the calendar is seeded.
@szamski.bsky.socialhora is Google Calendar as an actual Mac app.
→ work and personal accounts side by side
→ next meeting in the menu bar
→ Meet, Zoom and Teams one click away
→ shortcuts for people who take clicking personally
@szamski.bsky.socialI assumed most Mac users run the newest macOS. I build on a Mac, so obviously.
Then I looked at our site analytics: 60-70% of visitors were on an older macOS than we supported.
The people building software are not the people using it.
@szamski.bsky.socialDownloading a calendar app is not using it.
You install it, connect an account, see your week — only then does anything happen. Everything between the download and that moment is where indie apps lose people.
That's the part I keep working on.
