Deadline: The bare bones online calendar application
I stumbled upon the calendar application Deadline the other day and thought I would pass it along to you. After using it for a few days and exploring its features, it seems to be a stable system that is good for folks who aren’t interested in a cumbersome program.
Unlike other calendar systems, you just type the event into the program the way that you would say it. If you want to meet up with your buddy for drinks after work, you would type, “Drinks with Buddy after work.” That’s it. You can add a date and specific time if you want, or keep it vague:
The application also works with instant messenger programs (just make your Deadline account one of your friends and it will IM you reminders), e-mail, and RSS feeds. There is a mobile phone app and the API is available if you want to build your own apps onto the system.
It’s super simple, and perfect for the person who doesn’t want many bells and whistles.

Why would anyone stray from Google Calendar?

Google calendar also has this feature, and it works with their mobile client. Just type in “Holiday Party at Laura’s Friday 5:30 pm” and it will enter the time and place for you.

Does it do reminders?

Neat. We use AirSet for our family calendar right now, but I must admit it isn’t rocking my world.

Any new calendar or reminder application I come across faces the same challenge: All my stuff is *already in* Remember the Milk. XD In this case, it doesn’t seem to do anything RTM doesn’t.

Does anyone know if this will be available for the iphone? Or if there’s a really good simple calendar for the phone?
