I would like more control over the times for events. I'm in college and I have classes that get out at the 50 min after the hour but the times are only every 15 min on the calendar. Anyway to change that to every 5 min?

Like many things I ran into when developing the interface for SnapPages, there is always the battle between functionality and ease-of-use. In this case the idea behind the time slider was I wanted a way to very quickly enter in a time without have to type it all out. The smaller I made the increments (1 min, 5 min, 15 min) the longer it took to enter in the time b/c you had to be more precise with where the slider landed. Which on the one hand gives you more control but on the other hand ended up defeating the purpose of having a "quick" way to enter in times. I'm sure I'll do more extensive testing on this but maybe it will at least help if you know the reasoning behind it.

Thanks again for all the feedback. Hopefully through a lot of interaction like this, we can make the site more useful for everyone.

Makes perfect sense on why you did it. How about an option to select to have more control. Don't know how easy that is but would be nice. Thanks
