I Spent 16 Years Measuring People. Then I Deleted the Dashboard.
For 16 years my job was knowing what people did. Then I built my own calendar app and chose to know almost nothing. Four lessons from deleting the dashboard.

For 16 years my job was knowing what people did. Then I built my own calendar app and chose to know almost nothing. Four lessons from deleting the dashboard.

hora now supports iPhone Duo: folded it's the hora you know, unfolded it's a dedicated layout with the full week, mini calendar and all your calendars.

A candid snapshot of hora's first ten days: 107 commits, three Swift packages, 21 resolved issues, useful workflows, and plenty still rough.

Five days after I first wrote about hora, the visible app worked. The road to launch was now OAuth verification, TestFlight, reliability, and feedback.

What I cut, rebuilt, and shipped during a 48-hour sprint on hora, including PKCE auth, Day View, FreeBusy sharing, and WidgetKit.
