First, many thanks for the users who reported issues. We’ve tried to address many of them quickly and hope to put up some new code with enhancements as soon as there’s a break in the usage.

Also, there were some questions raised about why Presdo is relevant, etc. Prior to Presdo, one of the things I always did when planning lunches and meetings was to give people several times from which to pick. I found that with busy people, this usually worked better and resulted in fewer back-and-forth exchanges. Then, after the time was chosen, there’d be a couple more exchanges to decide on a place. Too much back and forth that filled up my inbox, and the situation becomes more untenable when more than 2 people are involved.

Presdo tries to supports this kind of exchange that people already do naturally, except it supercharges it. It does so by keeping track of some key pieces of information (such as when people are available), and allows the details to be worked out faster. If you try, you can actually enter all the details of an event on the first screen, and the second screen becomes just the confirmation. Click “Send” you’re done.
It took a while, but we are very delighted with the result. And there is a lot more to do.
