We opened the site back in June 2018. Many users and many customers over the years. It served us all well. When the pandemic hit the world back in March 2020, everyone was grounded, travel came to a close and day appointments were no longer "a thing". I was hoping that this would pick up again, but it never did, and other apps came to light.

DayScheduler.com domain name is coming for renewal and I will not continue with it. Hopefully someone will pick it up and do something with it. Good solid name!

Many, MANY THANKS to all of our customers over the years. I learned a lot! It was a very fun project.

DayScheduler How It Came About

Posted in General

With so many calendar applications, the question often comes up as to why we needed another one. Why is this one different?

After searching a for a while, I could not find a simple, easy to use and inexpensive application that covered my requirements.

I needed to present a calendar to my customers, where they can quickly see my availability, and allowed them to quickly request a day that is convenient to them. The request comes to me via email, and if I accept it, it then adds it to my calendar. I then inform them that I have accepted, and we are confirmed (did not want to do that automatically).

I have been using it for about a year, and it has worked really well for me, and it has been a great time-saver for me and my customers. No more back and forth emails to try to find “a day that works”. I have my travel and daily bookings calendar in an easy to view day format . Even my family can see where I will be and where have I been.

Originally it was my own application, but as others used it, they asked about it, and I started to develop it a bit further. Got the domain, create some branding about it, then create the sales page ( Dayscheduler.com ). As those initial few and brave users started to use it, I got feedback and improved it. (Thank you!)

Side note: The 360-feedback loop has been greatly satisfying. Someone recommends a feature or improvement (or finds a bug), it gets evaluated, and if feasible queue. If not, then goes into parked items, for “disposition”.

As part of the improvement process, I added some administration and back-office management pages, and now we have a web-application that can scale.

We (my father and I) started a Facebook page (and corresponding blog) about a week ago, and started to fill it in with content and a few demo videos, so we can begin to extend the invitation to friends and family.

It is a bit nerve-racking, to put something “out there”, but it is always fun to do this, and really enjoy the process.

Hope you give DayScheduler a try!
