Rallly - alternative to Doodle

[marcusquinn]

Odd, just had my demo access invite email, but codebase doesn't seem active: https://github.com/lukevella/Rallly

@marcusquinn I think he's doing a complete rewrite and hasn't yet open sourced the latest code

Yeah I wouldn't suggest using the current version. I'd be curious about the vulnerabilities in the node dependencies given that the last update to them was 3 years ago

Doesn't seem to do timezones, which is a handy feature with remote international teams but I signed up for a preview and the dev seems to be aware of that: https://github.com/lukevella/Rallly/issues/22

This got fixed recently, time to give this a packaging try.

[main.wheel7527]

It seems now there are updates, it seems to work good and it's good looking.

How far did you get? Be great to finally have a doodle alternative on Cloudron!

No idea why, but today I felt like building something and here it is:
https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/rallly-app

There are a few caveats:

• There are no official tags or releases, this package clones the latest files from the Github repo, which may be problematic at some point.
• yarn build didn't work with symlinks, so the workaround is as follows:
  • yarn is being triggered in the Dockerfile
  • on startup the files are being copied to /run/rallly
  • from there yarn prisma migrate deploy, yarn build and finally yarn start are being triggered in start.sh - not sure if /run is being emptied at some point, but I've added a check to copy and run the commands again if this should happen
• There are no user accounts, everyone can use your instance (it's possible to add Cloudron auth to it, but that somewhat defeats the point when sending out emails to a non-public site. That said, maybe only some endpoints could be protected, but again, the dev might change those along the way and it will stop working)
• I don't think you can edit the main page, so you basically have a clone of their site

Other than that I only tested for a bit but the important things seems to be working (i.e. email, export,...)

@msbt The front page issue is discussed here - https://github.com/lukevella/rallly/discussions/137

I wonder if Kukkee might better in this regard, looks like another one to explore at least (although seems like it's still early days).

Edit: Framadate too, of course, from the good people at Framasoft (and also the app in this space that currently has the most upvotes in the wishlist)

[marcusquinn]

Rallly has the best UI/UX and active development of all of them by far, IMHO. This would be my top pick. Great work @msbt

[marcusquinn]

Seems to handle timezones too.
