it's not fixed for me:

> disregard /ˌdisrəˈɡärd/ Understood. Let me know what you would like to work on instead!

amusingly, it does provide the pronunciation and the dictionary-definition h2-ish formatting... and then no definition

this is cool – congrats on the launch.

generally when i give someone my calendar link, i'm pretty happy for them to just choose whatever time within those constraints. i like the future where everyone opts in ("i will meet as long as my preferences are considered") & there doesn't need to be any manual clicking/coordination whatsoever.

as a tidbit of feedback: are you explicitly targeting b2b? i would like to just sign up, but i'll book a demo if that's the only option :)

selling to big pharma companies as a startup is hard, so huge props on getting adoption there. the product looks very slick.
