Nifty vs Resource Guru

Resource Guru's feed mixes product updates with marketing articles, and the product half has been consistently substantive. Total Hours bookings let a user commit a number of hours across a date range and have the tool fit them around existing commitments, rather than placing each block by hand. Around that sit a run of view-shaping features — colour-coding bookings by custom field, choosing and reordering Projects columns, a daily digest of unassigned placeholder bookings — plus a Trello integration and an MCP server for querying account data from AI tools.

Two threads are running. The scheduler is becoming constraint-aware: the product is moving from a canvas where humans place every block toward one that resolves intent against availability. Separately, the data is being opened up — MCP for natural-language querying, Trello for booking creation from cards — which treats the schedule as something other systems read and write rather than a destination app. The view customisation work is the connective tissue, letting teams shape what they see as the underlying data grows richer.

Expect the automatic-fitting logic behind Total Hours to extend to other booking types, since the hard part is the placement engine rather than the entry form. More integrations in the Trello mould look likely given the MCP groundwork already laid.
