Deep dives

The Evolution of VimCal

VimCal was developed as a response to the specific needs of busy individuals, particularly founders and entrepreneurs who juggle numerous meetings across different time zones. The co-founders, originally focused on an augmented reality project, pivoted multiple times before launching VimCal under significant pressure, including a critical lack of financial resources. By understanding their own challenges in scheduling meetings, they created a platform that simplifies the process, allowing users to drag and select time slots, significantly reducing the manual effort typically involved in organizing meetings. This innovative feature, known as 'Slots,' directly addresses the frustration that comes from traditional scheduling methods, setting VimCal apart from generic calendar solutions.
