Thanks Bastien Vairet! Actually, could you provide a bit more explanation about the use case here?
Bastien Vairet
Derrick Reimer so there's finally some explaining to do.
How I sell my time online, most of the time I give an hour's lesson to someone to whom I've already given an hour's lesson.
If we talk about our next appointment, I'd like to be able to duplicate today's appointment at a later date. In this way, I'll keep the data he's entered in the pre-booking forms and I'll save him having to reconnect to my platform and book a new course.
Derrick Reimer
Bastien Vairet Ah! Makes sense. So basically booking the next (future) meeting on the scheduler's behalf?
Bastien Vairet
Derrick Reimer exactly.
However, it's not an urgent feature. I suppose I'd rather have what I call the Unified Home Calendar on my home page in the first instance.

From this new home page will come a whole range of interesting features for hosts. I'm taking my inspiration here from Morgen, an excellent application that combines Calendar and Booking Tool. Unfortunately their booking tool isn't rich enough for me to do without Savvycal. So I imagine that it would be ideal if Savvycal, now that its booking tool is fairly complete, offered an opening to calendar management, like Morgen, or Notion Calendar. Notion Calendar is another excellent example.

All in all, this is what a calendar manager needs. A highly manageable calendar, able to act quickly with just a few clicks.
Savvycal's shortcoming is that every action in the calendar is tedious.
Just the fact that you can't change the duration of a meeting, that you have to cancel it and then reschedule it, is really a symbol of the fact that the whole tool is designed for the scheduler, but not for the host.
Derrick Reimer
Bastien Vairet: we do have a "Modify Events" project in progress right now that will solve a lot of that pain around changing meetings.
I don't know if SavvyCal will move in the direction of becoming a full-blown calendar client, but it's good to hear if there's demand for that.
Bastien Vairet
Derrick Reimer this is promising. I look forward to it.
This modify events projects combined with an Airtable integration

will provide something really powerful for tracking, annotating appointments and building applications that include a booking function.
