In the ideal scenario yes but they don't have to be: you can use Onin as a modern, E2EE personal calendar on your own. We're seeing the most common pattern in the private beta for people to plan on existing chat services and then move the event into Onin once arranged, effectively replacing the legacy email invite system of current calendars. From there the Onin event becomes the destination for the continued planning/chatting/sharing photos etc.
Thank you! We totally agree, behaviour change is hard: no doubt our public beta feature set will appeal best to our core fans but the hooks will get more and more compelling to mainstream consumers as we develop the product.
It's not so much about moving all your conversations to Onin though: it's about using us as your personal and social calendar. We support showing/editing your existing calendar events in-app too so there's zero switching cost to trying us.
With this in mind, we've found this feature set to be very compelling with our non-technical friends and family who are on the private beta.
I'm afraid as you guessed it, iOS-only for launch on Jan 10th but we want to get Android and web as quickly as we find product market fit (PMF). This decision is so we can iterate and improve the product based on our users feedback as quickly as possible, the more platforms we support the slower can move. We suspect though we're going to hear this a lot more and PMF for a new calendar service might only be possible with apps on all your devices!
Exactly for the commit history: we want to make our legal agreements, and any changes made to them, as transparent as possible, we thought GitHub was the most accessible place to do this
That's not really the point though: we have to notify our users of any changes to our legal agreements regardless. We are using GitHub to make these changes as transparent as possible. Because of such legal notifications it would be very obvious if such tampering was going on based on the effective dates of the policies. Again, we're being this transparent because we want to do everything we can to protect our users security and privacy.
Important question, thank you for asking! We will never monetise through means that jeopardise the privacy of our users. We want to monetise from % fees on payments and event ticket sales (pay-to-join events) in our B2B2C use case.

We're building something BIG.
I wish we could tell you upfront what it is but we're in stealth. We can say if you love consumer applications and collaborative tools, we're your bag...
We're a small team of fun-loving, hardworking, software fanatics. We’re open and try new things with enthusiasm. And we’re high-momentum, focused on delivering magical products that our users love as much as we do. We socialise as a team at least once a month (currently via Zoom!).
Our CEO is Ryan Brodie, who co-founded muzmatch (YC S17) and has 3 successful exits.
We had somewhere to call home in a central London WeWork but since lockdown we're thinking about going fully remote with frequent company away days instead. What do you think?
We keep things simple and iterate fast, we use the best possible technology and tooling to realise our goals and improve our understanding.
Every hire, from our first to (one day) thousandth, gets generous equity. Everyone should consider this to be theirs as much as anyone else's. If you're not passionately arguing what you believe is best for our product, you might not be thinking as deeply as we do about our work.
We're hiring for engineering and product roles. If you want a job that doesn't feel like work, we'd love to hear from you.

Sorry that iOS was unreliable Re: available keyboards, we've found this too and will be sure to let Apple know.
Any further feedback please leave here or reach out to us: hi [at] onin [dot] co, we'd love to hear it.
Thanks again!
