Looks and works great, thanks muchly! Very well thought out! Just a note that it doesn’t seem to work with Opera and large fonts on WinXP system, the “Add a new event here” box is not visible, but no such problems in IE6.

pretty pretty cool!!! loveit!
February 5th, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Wow. Looks great! Runs really fast and smooth. Can I add events that recur on the first Sunday of every month?
February 5th, 2006 at 8:33 pm
Looks nice!

So, is there an import button that i’m missing somewhere? I see nifty stuff like export and subscribe with iCal. Import ics?

Wow! I know several others have tried to pull off an online calendar, but you guys did it! Unbelievable product! This is the way that web apps are supposed to work. Clean, simple, intuitive - also, glad to see it powered by WordPress. Keep up the great work!

One other thing, a new repeat ‘weekdays’ option would e great. Thanks.
February 5th, 2006 at 9:27 pm
Looks nice, great functions!!! Thanks.
I need iCal, hCalendar and a Event copy ;-)

I missed the half time show because of 30 Boxes! Sheesh!
February 5th, 2006 at 9:29 pm
I would ask Jame’s first question - I’d love to import Outlook/iCal calander already, and then dispose of the static one, and just use 30boxes…
If it doesn’t exist, was there going to be a timeline on it? Is it considered a feature that will be implemented? (ie, “importing”)
February 5th, 2006 at 9:45 pm
Tre bien! I love it and how predictive it is.
I’d like to set an event for every other friday, but the cal doens’t allow it.

Very nice work - great product. Only thing I noticed is the RSS feed window that pops-up seems to be a little flaky in Firefox. It appears on mouseover, but flashes on and off. Still, awesome product so far. Can’t wait to see where it’s headed. Thanks!
February 5th, 2006 at 9:53 pm
Also, it’d be ace to be able to drag and drop appointments to new/other dates

It looks really great guys! I look forward to continue playing with the application.

30 Boxes - Social Event Kalender
Pünktlich wie versprochen ist heute der die öffentliche Beta des Social Event Kalenders 30 Boxes gestartet. 30 Boxes ist ein änlich interessantes Event Kalender Projekt wie Zvents. Mein erster Eindruck war etwas ernüchternd, doch na…

I’m playing with it and it looks cool. Nice and fast! Now if it would just synch with my (human) brain! Thanks!

I signed up many hours ago but have not yet received my confirmation email. Should I sign up in IE instead of Opera?
February 5th, 2006 at 10:58 pm
looks good. ETA on calendar rss feeds?
February 5th, 2006 at 11:36 pm
absolutely fantastic! I love it. thank you.

Beautiful.

Looks awesome and great to use.
Cool creation guys.!!
thumbs up

Yes, the site doesn’t work that well with Firefox (1.5). However, it does work well with IE. Hope changes come.
Good job guys.

Congrats! I’m impressed. After a weekend of anger about a new and very user-unfriendly online system for registrating working hours that the company I work for has just installed, 30boxes is a total relief and a glimpse of hope. Thanx for that.
two minor details:
- plz add the poss. to notate the time in international standard notation (hh:mm)
- in the ‘frame of the day’ an appointment without a time (hence:today) should always be on top of the list.

Simply beautiful! Very easy to use and works well (Firefox 1.5).
Suggestion: could you add some international date options, e.g. the UK dd.mm.yyyy?
Thanks for all your hard work & effort!

I’ve been playing with 30boxes since morning, and I must say I love the simplicity and the raw feature-power behind it :)
There are some features that I’d like to see:
(1) Automatic Tagging: For events like birthdays, it would be really nice to have a tag like “birthdays” added automatically. Ditto for anniversaries. (Although currently it is possible to circumvent this be searching for the string “birthday” explicitly)
(2) Email Reminders for Important Tasks: For starred events (events tagged “important”) that are scheduled in the future, it would be really cool to have an email reminder sent out, so that the user may not inadvertently miss out an event.
(3) Functionality to Mark a Task as Complete: When I have many tasks scheduled in a day, and I’m scanning my Day view to see what I have to do, it would help to quickly see the tasks that I’ve done and the tasks that I still have to do.
All that said, 30boxes looks like a killer webapp. I’m wondering how Google Calendar would be like :)
(I’m running Firefox 1.5.0.1 and it seems to work fine for me :) I don’t seem to notice anything erratic or flaky)

Excellent work! Non existent web edit functionality of the .mac calendar was the one thing that stopped me from buying a .mac account.
Hoping for a more internationalized version:
* Changing time from 12h format to 24h format
* Changing the start day of the week
* Accepting other characters than a-z as letters
* Displaying week numbers (and changing on what day the first week of the year starts)
* International holidays
Also looking forward to a possibility to synchronize both Outlook and iCalendar in read/write mode. I hope you (or someone else through the API) adds this soon :)

Incredible! Other beta testers have given suggestions that I would love to see, such as:
1. Schedule an item for “Every other WEEKDAY” or “First WEEKDAY of every month”
2. Receive email notifications for events marked to do so
3. Automatically tag items based on the event name
Suggested features I haven’t read from someone else previously:
1. More themes (or custom themes!)
2. Color-coding events (based on tag, rule-based for multiple tagged events)
3. Hide the “example event”
A bug I found is this:
When you hover over “find” and type something, then hover your mouse over something other than the “find” section, the flashing I-cursor is still there, and you can still type, but the section is not visible. I’m using Firefox 1.5.0.1.

Very nice app!
I would like to have it improved for european users. For example the time. Not 9pm -> 21:00
Thank you for this service.
