Hi Jesper, how does it compare to Meekan’s API? (https://meekan.com/developers)

@shemag8 I think the two main differences are ( 1 ) Timekit is API-first, not an API released in the wake of a consumer product. ( 2 ) It seems Meekan is focused on adding scheduling capabilities for meetings. Whereas Timekit is meant as the building block for both scheduling, booking and calendars. While there's similarities between the two; Timekit is created to be flexible and modular so you can add it to everything from sharing-economy marketplaces, productivity tools, social tools, and business tools. 👍

@klngnbrg @shemag8 Thanks for pointing out some of the differences, just a few more: 1) Meekan's consumer products are actually just a really good use-case for our API, which is very flexible, and allows not only booking - but finding best mutual times, sending options as a poll, receiving votes, and of course, creating and updating events in your calendars. 2) Our API works with Google, Office365 and iCloud 3) Meekan saves time when it's more than a 1:1, but a 3-4 people meeting, even across timezones.

@eyalyavor Thanks for joining us. I think it makes sense to look at Meekan and Timekit in the same box, but doing two different things. We are focusing a lot on Human-to-Resource scheduling - thus enabling developers to build scheduling and booking engines where only one side is a human who can interact. The other is a resource (service/item/non-interacting-human) with rules and settings for an optimal allocation of availability.

@klngnbrg @shemag8 We complete each other :) Making calendars a bit more connected, more accurate, and more useful.

Thanks for hunting us @tomazstolfa Really happy to be here with Booking.js. We’ve worked hard on launching this. For those of you who haven’t heard about it; it’s the easiest way to create an embeddable booking form that can be added to any site or product in a few minutes. We want to change how you book things online and this is the first step in that direction. By empowering developers to build booking into a product, but with minimal code. We’d love to hear your feedback and see where you embed it. I’ve created one here: http://hourhq.com/jesper

@mikelholford Thanks !! right now Booking.js only integrates with Google. Timekit also supports being the custom provider, if you don't want to run it on a 3rd party provider. In the future we may release Office365 and iCloud if enough people want it.
