What problem does Scanlendar solve?
Case Study
Consider the following situation:
- The date is Monday Jan 10, 2030
- You're in a call with a friend and he tells you the date of an upcoming event that you must attend, and then he hangs up.
- You quickly write down the event in your notes app on your smartphone to not forget.
- You wrote a note in your notes app that contained the following
- > 2 hour meeting with John about virtual teaching and e-learning on Zoom a week from today at noon
Transferring this plain text event in casual language to the calendar app on your phone should be mindless and easy
- Issue: yet it isn't, because it would require continuously switching between two apps and typing in details in multiple text boxes. + This is what out app would do with the text in the note containing the event:
| Place in Text | Event Details |
|---|---|
| Meeting with John | Title: Meeting with John |
| virtual teaching and e-learning | Description: E-learning and virtual teaching on Zoom |
| a week from today | Start Date: Monday Jan 17, 2030 |
| N/A | End Date: Monday Jan 17, 2030 |
| at noon | Start Time: 12:00pm |
| 2 hour | End Time: 2:00pm |
