#lazyweb I want a tool where I can add like 3 or 4 possible times and send someone a link, and they can view the times in their own timezone and then select one of them from the list. Bonus if that results in a calendar invite being sent to both of us. Does this exist?-
UPDATE: It has been brought to my attention that I have been using Fantastical by @flexibits and it in fact has this feature built in! Amazing!
-
@aaronpk Sometimes the solution is already in ones hand 😃
-
@aaronpk It does. Use the “propose another time” button to add multiple times and then add the people as attendees. Here’s a video explanation.
-
@aaronpk I use Fantastical from Flexibits for that. It’s not cheap, but it works very well and is hence worth it.
-
@jeroensangers That's the one I've heard of as well! Only used it a couple times.
-
@aaronpk Not sure if it meets your exact needs but in the Netherlands we often use DatumPrikker ("DatePicker") for this. https://datumprikker.nl/
-
@aaronpk this is not *quite* what you're asking, but is pretty handy if you just want to work out whether your proposed times are reasonable, especially if there are multiple locations to account for: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/meeting.html

@aaronpk Doodle?
-
Looks like Doodle wins! I'm annoyed it forces me to connect my calendar since all I actually need is the time chooser bits, but it does work like I want it to!
-
@aaronpk I see this used at work frequently. https://doodle.com/en/
-
and to be clear, I explicitly do not want a full on scheduling system like @Calendly for this (which I do use and enjoy, but this is a different use case)
-
Sounds like one of the features of x.ai. I don't remember offhand if it auto-detects the other timezone or allows someone to change the timezone display, etc.

@cortbuchholz didn't you build this?

Don't know about other operating systems but on linux (and I think Mac) you can use the date command at the command line:
Want to know what time it will be locally when it is 12 noon in Sydney, Australia next Monday?
date --date='TZ="Australia/Sydney" 12:00 next Mon'
If you know how to write shell scripts you could incorporate this command into one.
date is part of the Gnu coreutils package
