The Story Behind Compass

Full-Stack Engineer
After building apps for other companies, I decided to build my own in 2021.
I spent two months researching and testing ideas.
Compass was the one I and others were most excited about.
I built a Figma prototype and showed it to more potential users. They liked it.
Then I built a working prototype by extending an open-source calendar (Full Calendar) and added a few conceptual features.
People liked the concepts, but they said the UX needed to be a lot better.
Then I built a calendar from scratch, which took 2 years of on-and-off work.
I ran out of $ and time in Sept 2023, so I got a job and open-sourced everything.
- More details about this decision in this post on my personal site.
