Manually enter exact times
It would be super nice to be able to enter exact times. Currently I don't see a way to do that. So instead of the 15 min increments, it would be cool if I could define the exact minute for my schedule. Is that already possible? Or is it planned? Cheers, Georg
Hi,
This is currently not planned since it will make it hard to manage the schedules graphically in that case.
It would help to understand what situation / problem that you are trying to solve by having more exact timing?

Hello Niklas, I was trying to realise a wakup-light with it and didn't want it to start at one of the given times. I managed to workaround using delays afterwards... But just in general... I guess it would be nice to be as flexible as possible when entering times, don't you think? I think the UI with dragging out the times is nice and you get a great overview for the whole week, but a fallback to manually enter times would just be awesome. Maybe right-click on a timeslot and select edit or so?!? Then bringing up a menu where the user can enter the times using the keyboard?
Hi,
Yes, I agree that it would be nice to be able to specify the time down to a minute. It's mainly a question about getting the UI as usable as possible so that it's both simple and still very flexible.
I will try to come up with a good way of realizing that and see how much work it is.

Hey... do you have an iOS or macOS device? Maybe have a look at the calendar app there. You can also drag out a new appointment, but then double click it to get detailed information in a popup. Have a great day! Cheers, Georg
Btw. I think the whole widget is great!
