Stixy Blog

First of all, thanks to everyone who has helped us test our new calendar. The launch has been a success, and most things work as expected.

We’ve received a lot of positive feedback, but also a few bug reports along with a number of feature requests. Here is a condensed version of the most common ones. Please add to the comments if you have any further questions in respect to the bugs, or if you would like to discuss our features and the ones we’re planning for.

Synchronize

• “Synchronize your calendar” link is not working in Firefox
  We are working on a better solution for publishing your calendar. Until we’re done, you can copy the address of the link, and paste the address into the subscribe field of your calendar. We will soon have a tutorial ready for you on how to do this. If you’ve already figured out how to do this, it would be great if you wanted to share it with the rest of us by adding your solution to the comments below or by sending us an e-mail at feedback@stixy.com.
• Subscribe to external calendar
  We have gotten a fair amount of requests for the need to subscribe to external calendars. We are planning to add this feature, and hope to have it ready soon.

Integrate with Stixyboard
The integration between your Stixyboards and the calendar is currently very limited. This, however, is highly prioritized and what Stixy is all about. As the calendar gets more finalized, expect it to be fully integrated with your Stixyboards, where you can share events and to-do’s between the two.

Sharing
As with the integration with the Stixyboards, sharing and collaboration is at the center of Stixy. We hope to have some sharing functionality ready soon, with full support ready short after. Before we can add full sharing functionality the way we want it, we need to figure out exactly how to do it across all of Stixy (Stixyboards, calendar, future file libraries, etc).

Popup is too small
The space is too limited for the calendar. The way it’s currently displayed, in a popup, is a temporary solution. We are currently working on a new design of Stixy where we will have better use of the screen real estate. Until then, you can open the calendar in it’s own window by using the address http://www.stixy.com/calendar?popup=true (if you’re logged in).

Better support for different time/date formats
We will add more time formats as time goes by. For now, you have a couple to choose from in your settings, http://www.stixy.com/setting.

Multiple calendars, categories, tagging
We are planning to add tagging functionality to the calendar. By tagging an entry, the plan is that you will be able to share, sort, filter etc. based on the tag. We are also planning to add the possibility to color code entries, based on tag.  As with the sharing, we first need to figure out how to do this across all of Stixy, since we want the tagging to be fully integrated.

Calendar should start on Sunday, instead of on Monday
You have the possibility to choose if you want the calendar to start on Monday or Sunday in your settings, http://www.stixy.com/setting.
