Very cool app! Are you considering adding a self-hosting alternative?
Idea: you could for example do something like a €199 one time fee for people who'd like to self-host.
I think this is something a fair bit of small SaaS founders need, but tbh I don't think this is one of the most crucial things to have a subscription for.
I think this is a beautifully written article. There might be a lot of gems to learn from here. One thing makes me a bit sceptic though:
"Clear your schedule, and read this book"
I haven't been around many years in the private sector, and haven't sold much. But I sometimes have a feeling, many project-strategies are kind of over-engineered and so meticulously thought through, that no actual work happens. This seems like an anti-pattern for achieving things to me.
"Third, talk to a lot of people" however really resonates with me, because if there is one thing I see all the time with successful new products in my field, is that they have built very strong communication channels with users and people interested in the product.
Amazingly pretty! I'm not international enough to have a personal use case for this, but I admire the skill that went into this. Are you open sourcing this at some point?
You're right, the demo does not show it yet. Perhaps I should change that. However, in the demo you could drag one event onto another, and then you'll see how it looks when it's overlapping with another one.
Correct! In the week- and day views there is still no gap, only in the month view. The discussions here today though convinced me I should also allow for a gap in the week/day views (not sure yet if per default or configuration).
Do you mean if any existing calendar can be used a backend? In that case, not out of the box. But I do intend to build a plugin for using Google Calendar as a backend.
I intend to implement event recurrence, but this is definitely one of those things which will require changes across most packages of the project code. The details of how it will be implemented is still open :) Will surely look to other open source calendars for inspiration. Do you have any tips on solutions/APIs you like?
Thank you so much! I really enjoy it as well. I build them privately since 2 years, and at work too. For some reason I'm also still having a great time doing so.
Thanks for sharing. Will look into Kiko! Though my main focus for now is to build the best possible open source calendar, I'm also pondering on ideas for possible business models to accompany it later on.
