#
[LewisCowles] [sknebel] I physically mentioned IndieAuth. I was pretty sure I linked to the spec, I'll check
#
[LewisCowles] One thing lots of people were confused about were tools named after standards
#
[LewisCowles] The other was looking at output, which I found strange, but I guess it's important to people
#
jmac Thanks to all who joined the NYC meetup last night via Zoom. We're planning to do it again next month: https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-indieweb-meetup-nyc-xzPxXTK5HGbe

#
sknebel [LewisCowles]: yeah, the service-named-after-standards is something we now consider a bad idea, but of course fixing it takes time and effort

#
[tantek] Has anyone seen Appoint.ly? It’s a very minimal UI you can setup a page on for yourself where others can book appointments with you by only picking a time slot and entering their email and name.
#
[tantek] Looks very much like the kind of thing that we could implement on our own sites
#
[tantek] Feels like one of those “aaronpk hacks it in a day” projects :)
#
[tantek] More implementation thoughts in dev
#
[tantek] The usecase is the need to setup virtual “coffee dates” as a substitute for social interaction now that many/most of us are sheltering in place
[chrisaldrich], nickodd, leg, seekr, [schmarty] and [snarfed] joined the channel
#
[snarfed] haven't seen that one but many people i know use and like https://calendly.com/ , it's similar
inkjama, kensp, yoroy, [KevinMarks] and wolftune joined the channel; nickodd left the channel
#
[tantek] For Appointly, I’m curious what sorts of moderation or blocking tools they have. Haven’t dug into the admin UI much
#
[tantek] [snarfed] same question for Calendly
#
[snarfed] good q! no idea
[jeremycherfas] joined the channel
#
[jeremycherfas] I had to use WhenWorks today after a request and was absolutely smitten by how easy it was as a guest.

#
jacky Calendly doesn't have a concept of blocking
#
jacky I use frequently
#
jacky *use it frequently enough
brandonrozek, [schmarty], wolftune and [KevinMarks] joined the channel
#
[KevinMarks] Google calendar often manages to get spammed too
Choscurano and [tantek] joined the channel
#
[tantek] Is there a term/category for these things? Appointly, Calendly, WhenWorks ?
#
[tantek] Feels like a silo pattern worth documenting as something to replace with our own sites
#
[tantek] And quite a big "simple open source solution" (SOSS?) opportunity
#
[tantek] If there's no existing term, perhaps we can brainstorm in meta.
