Hi everyone!

Outside is a beautiful yet powerful countdown and shared calendar app. People use it for personal productivity to always have something to look forward to. But events can also be shared with friends, family or a partner to have one place to organize important events together.

You can sync events from your calendar which helps to make the most important ones more visual, fun and a widget on your home screen. We started Outside to help people get outside and with people in person. Right now we've been mostly focussed on first helping people feel excited about what's going on in their live and gradually add use cases which could work well with close friends, family etc.

Curious to hear feedback if you try it out. Currently on iOS only. Will add web/android in the future.


Listened to this 3x today, this is an amazing insight an helped me with my pitch today. We got an offer: ]


Congrats. Great work


Hey thanks a lot for this, will check them out. Pitch went great!


On the train now, will try and listen to this! this looks pretty awesome to listen to!


Thanks for this caution, will keep this in my head.


This is great advice :} on the train now


Hey Peter,

1. Facebooks shared albums are limited to 50 users with a max of 200 pics. The average person at a gig takes 20+ pictures as an example. FB shared albums cannot cater for this.

Also with Facebooks shared albums its limited to your own friends, on Venteo its an open platform where people can collaborate in the same album because they are attending the same event.

2. Good point, when I tell people about this they always ask "really, how do I find it". FB have never really marketed it nor ever made significant improvements since day 1.


So the first answer is that you are designing for larger scale (# of photos and # contributors). Cool.

2. I think needs to be better. Is there a place people are trying to do this already but they aren't being served well by the product?


1. So when Facebook raises or lifts those limits you're dead.

2. So when Facebook pushes this feature a little bit more you're dead.

Sounds awfully risky to me, without a big upside.


Noted. Lower caps now.


Nope


True that, being updated tomorrow.
