30 Boxes is a minimalist calendaring IOS application[1] created by 83 Degrees.[2] Originating as a web application in March 2006, 30 Boxes was founded by Webshots cofounder Narendra Rocherolle. The website shut down some time in 2020, but relaunched for the IOS on February 2021.[3]
The original website was tailored towards "social media junkies".[2]
Reception
[edit]Barry Collins of The Sunday Times appreciated the website's plain-language event adding feature, but did not appreciate that he was unable to see more than one month of events at a time. Collins was also unhappy that the website was not capable of warning him when he had two events scheduled at the same time.[1] In a list of the best web-based calendar software for small businesses, Forbes ranked 30 Boxes second, after Google Calendar.[4] They described 30 Boxes like “buying a new car with manual transmission and lots of extras—you don't just want to drive it, you want to fool around with it to see what it can do”.[4]
