A few thoughts on the UX from my two minutes on the site.

A few thoughts on the UX from my two minutes on the site. When I created my event, the first thing I did was select a date in the calendar, before going down the page to fill in the other details. When I got to the bottom, the submit button was greyed out, which confused me. What had I missed? It was only when I scrolled back up that I saw that events require a title, which is confusing and frustrating. The timeframe bit is confusing, too. First I'm asked to pick my slot length (let's say I choose a four-hour slot between 19:00 and 23:00, because I'm going to the theatre), but then I get some radio buttons asking for the same thing... and I've only got three options (15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). I've just told you I want a four-hour slot. Do these radio buttons override that? Confusing. I found some of the UX elements a bit fiddly to use on my laptop, which slowed down the process. If the idea here is to have a really quick way to schedule meetings, I think things could be a lot clearer and more straightforward. The only thing you /really/ need to know is the date and time, right? Maybe I can add more information later if I really want to?
