beta: Scrybe
Posted on | October 21, 2006 | 1 Comment
watching their promotional video, Scrybe is going to be the next generation of online calendar-applications. more so, the dynamically zooming calendar views look slicker than any desktop schedule seen so far. besides common calendar functionality, Scrybe manages integrated tasklists and stores thoughts and web-snippets of all kind. the not-to-be-missed video demos the gorgeous user-interface, extended suppot for different timezones, impressive copy&paste import from office-applications (Microsoft Excel in particular) and – a bit oldschool but nonetheless handy – printing-capabilities.
while this all sounds (& looks) great, the best is yet to come: Scrybe promises seamless offline access, therefor overcoming current online office-apps’ major drawback. it’s not really clear how this offline mode & synchronisation will be implemented, but possible solutions would be a local desktop-application, a local proxy-server or some kind of flash storage (the latter being the most advanced & platform-independent approach – also, a commenter at Ajaxian pointed out the Scrybe is most likely a Flash/Flex-application).
beta-accounts should be available somewhere until the end of october, and according to the buzz I’m not the only one looking forward to get my hands on Scrybe
