Thanks for your insight. The date / time could be from a predefined list,
for example:

10:00-11:00
11:00-12:00
...
20:00-21:00

This would work like a calender function. Where each user can register for
example for three distinct time slots, and then he will see, approximately,
the time distribution of other users.

For the getting enough people to use it, I think word-of-mouth should work,
as it would help those who use it, plus it reduces the chance of physical
contact, so there is a win-win situation in using the app.

Maybe if someone from the media promotes the app, this should boost it also.

Kind regards,
Orges
