Sept Update


Compass got a little better last month.

Keyboard only. Clicking only reveals the corresponding shortcut.

That's a big change, so here are a few ways to start building that muscle memory.

  • Book a 1:1 onboarding call with me. We'll practice together.
  • Watch the 2-min demo and then explore on your own.
  • Play Block Party, the in-app game to help you practice. Open the command palette and type "play." My high score is 6110.

Multiple google accounts. You can now link multiple Google accounts in Compass. "Cmd/Ctrl" + ","

Touch ups. Sidebar hints, attendees, navigation, scrolling.

Time travel. Type "z" to view a second timezone. Good to check before proposing a 4am meeting to your Australian coworker.

Trial. 5.5 years after the first line of code, it's finally good enough to pay for. If you're not convinced, there's a 7-day free trial.

Till next time,

PART I: PRODUCT Compass Calendar got a lot better last month. Simpler. Compass used to have tasks, someday events, and regular events. Almost no one used the first two, so they had to go. Now it’s all about events, baby. Compass Calendar is finally at peace with being … a calendar. Sub-calendars. ALL your events from ONE google account are finally visible in Compass. Type A users with a separate calendar for each side project rejoice. Light theme. An inky, calm alternative to dark default....
