Q: Display Available Times Alongside the Calendar
Is there a way in TidyCal to display available booking times directly alongside the calendar, similar to Cal.com, rather than having users select their time from a dropdown?
From a user experience perspective, showing the available time slots next to the selected date makes availability much easier to scan and compare at a glance. It also reduces an extra interaction, since users can immediately see which times are available without opening a dropdown.

Good news — that's already how TidyCal works, so there's nothing to enable. There's no time dropdown on the booking page. When your visitor picks a date on the calendar, the available times appear straight away as a column of clickable buttons directly beside the calendar, with the chosen day as the heading above them. The list is height-matched to the calendar, so a day with a lot of slots scrolls inside its own panel rather than pushing the page around. On phones the same list sits just under the calendar instead of beside it, since there isn't room for two columns.
So it's the two clicks you described — one on the day, one on the time — with everything visible at a glance in between.
There's also a second view worth knowing about if comparing across days is the real goal. In the row above the calendar, next to the timezone selector, there's a small icon toggle that switches the panel to a list view: every upcoming date with its available times underneath, one after another, loading further dates as you scroll. That gives you a whole week or month in a single scroll without clicking any date at all. It's available on standard booking types, though not on recurring or group ones.
