New features, improvements, and important changes to time•inator – explained clearly.
·
Website
New
One place for every product update
time•inator now has a calm, searchable changelog where new features and important improvements can be explained clearly.
What is new
A new changelog page with a chronological release feed and direct date navigation.
Readable typography based on the shadcn/typeset approach.
Entries, navigation, and the Markdown view are generated automatically from one central content file.
What comes next
The actual release content will continue to be written deliberately by hand. This keeps every update understandable and focused on user value instead of merely listing technical commits.
·
Sign-in
A visible status while your session refreshes
When time•inator refreshes your sign-in in the background, the app now shows a clear status instead of appearing to pause briefly.
What improved
A compact notice explains that the session is being refreshed.
The status is exposed as a live message for screen readers.
The animation respects the system preference for reduced motion.
·
Scheduling
Weekly schedules stay correct across clock changes
Weekly schedules now calculate weekdays reliably in the team timezone and no longer create duplicate slots when daylight saving time ends.
Fixed
Events land on the correct weekday regardless of the server timezone.
The repeated hour during a clock change no longer creates duplicate weekly slots.
·
Calendars & teams
More reliable calendars and clearer team settings
A larger reliability and privacy update protects calendar data, keeps events on the selected date, and makes team permissions easier to understand.
Everyday improvements
New calendars no longer shift by a day because of timezone conversion.
Slots that run to the end of the day are preserved during calendar updates.
Team settings make it clearer which options owners and co-leads may change.
Public calendar and team views now expose only the data they actually need.
·
Calendars
Longer calendars with fewer empty days
Calendars can now span a full month as long as they stay within the slot limit. Days without any time slots are hidden from the overview.
New and fixed
Month-long planning works within the existing limit of 124 slots.
Calendar views focus on days that actually contain proposed times.
After deleting a calendar, the app reliably returns to the calendar overview.
·
Interface
Clearer feedback for availability and notifications
Small, focused transitions make status changes easier to notice without making the interface feel busy.
Details
Updated availability cells provide brief visual feedback immediately.
New notifications and counters appear with a subtle transition.
Reduced-motion preferences continue to be fully respected.
·
Design
A new look across all of time•inator
The landing page and app now share one calmer design language. Aurora is the new default, accompanied by a high-contrast WCAG mode.
What is included
Consistent navigation, typography, cards, and status presentation.
A design switcher is available on both the landing page and the signed-in app.
The WCAG mode provides clear focus states and high contrast.
·
Availability
Maybe now comes with a reason
Teams can define why someone is only tentatively available. Those reasons appear directly where proposed times are reviewed.
New capabilities
Availability can be set directly to yes, maybe, or no for each slot.
Team leads can define their own maybe reasons.
Appointment analysis shows each person's reason and separate counts for every status.
·
Analysis
Feasible times are grouped into real appointment windows
Consecutive matching slots are now shown as continuous appointment windows. Changes in who is available remain visible within each window.
Better analysis
Consecutive slots on the same day are grouped into one clear appointment.
Details show when yes or maybe responses change within the window.
Hover and tap reveal the participants and status counts involved.
·
Interface
A calmer dashboard without theme flashing
The dashboard, navigation, and landing page were reorganized. The selected design now appears immediately instead of briefly flashing another theme while loading.
Improved
The most important calendar actions and metrics are easier to scan.
Navigation and notifications follow a more consistent structure.
The selected theme is applied before the first visible render.
·
Integration
Team activity as a personal RSS feed
Team members can follow changes to teams, calendars, and availability through a personal RSS link.
Control for every team
Owners decide whether RSS is available for their team.
Every member receives an individual key that can be revoked.
Keys can be rotated without reconfiguring the entire team.
·
Calendars
Calendar edits preserve existing responses
When editing a calendar, responses for unchanged slots are preserved. Only removed times lose their associated availability data.
Fixed
Unchanged start and end times retain their slot ID and all responses.
New slots are added instead of rebuilding the entire calendar.
·
Guest view
A better guest view that respects language and session state
Public calendars now match the regular calendar layout and remain reliably accessible without signing in.
Improved
Public calendars no longer trigger an unnecessary sign-in redirect.
The guest view uses the same clear card and grid structure as the member view.
The selected language persists across page loads and is also available to the server.
·
Scheduling
Schedules can now run cleanly until midnight
Weekly schedules support midnight as a clear end-of-day value and automatically adjust the final slot when needed.
New
Midnight can be selected directly as the end time.
A slot that would otherwise extend past midnight now ends automatically at midnight.
Display, validation, and stored times handle the end of the day consistently.
·
Privacy
Private BattleTags stay private in teams and calendars
When BattleTag sharing is disabled, member lists, calendars, and pending invitations now consistently hide that BattleTag.
Privacy applied consistently
The setting applies equally to owners, co-leads, and members.
Pending invitations no longer expose a private BattleTag either.
·
Calendars
Calendars can be shared publicly
A new public visibility mode allows calendars to be shared by link with guests who do not need a Battle.net account.
For guests and teams
Public calendars show times and summarized availability in a read-only view.
Visibility can be chosen during creation and changed later while editing.
The guest view was designed with WCAG 2.2 AA in mind from the start.
·
