Croodle - alternative to Doodle
-
I can't find any screenshot but it seems to be maintained, and if inspired by Pastebin, we like that already.
-
@marcusquinn you can try it here:
https://www.systemli.org/poll/
Seems pretty good (I just came across it because https://agaric.coop/ use it and posted a link to a poll on https://forum.meet.coop )
-
I noticed it does timezones too, which is nice
-
@jdaviescoates Brilliant - thank you!
Of all the ones I've looked at, this looks like a winner to me; simple, secure, fast, actively maintained.
No database or LDAP integration needs should mean quick & easy to package.
Anyone up for this?
from me. -
Not directly related, but I'm also working on a similar kind of app, but with a different approach: organizer chooses specific days, and then participants fill in their availability during those days.
The app then finds the best time for the meeting.I think this approach is better when you want to schedule meetings across timezones, because you don't have to think of them. It fits my usecase (I organize meeting between USA/EU/ Asia), but I'm not sure it can entirely replace Doodle-like apps.
It's not ready, but here's my working repository: https://git.ruihildt.xyz/meeting-planner

@ruihildt Nice. There's certainly a market for this from my research and finding limited options.
-
I have a test app of this running on my Cloudron right now: https://croodle.urgero.org
I am working with @marcusquinn to get testing rolling and make sure it all works as expected. I suspect this will be a quick one.
-
@murgero Nice work, looks perfect! I guess the next-step for App Store approval is automated tests part.
Another app closed to an app for everything for any team needing organisation by design

Brilliant, thanks both!
I just used it to create this test poll:
https://croodle.urgero.org/#/poll/6aV6vydcDc/participation?encryptionKey=fBO7wF1TVNxhj8Wi6BCYRPgdpS30Z6ZOKjXx5PgzSeems to work great
Would still really like something like Easy Appointments though! (especially if/ when they get around to implementing CalDAV integration)
-
@staff what are the chances of getting this through testing and live in the App Store? I'm hoping it's a relatively simple one but I have very regular needs for this, and I'm sure others would appreciate once live: https://git.cloudron.io/murgero/croodle-app
-
@marcusquinn I used @murgero instance the other day
Worked fine. But I think I prefer Framadate.
-
@jdaviescoates Sure, nice to have options but I just need something quick & easy. Can't remember what I didn't like so much, maybe it just seemed a bit rough and dated but I'll give it another look if it gets launched here.
-
@staff be good to get this into the app store - @murgero has got a working package already - I guess maybe it just needs adding to Cloudron GitLab and tests written?
Here's he repo again:
https://git.cloudron.io/murgero/croodle-app (oh, it's already on Cloudron GitLab! ) -
@jdaviescoates yeah, it needs tests and also a lot of cleanup to remove all the lamp app specific stuff.
-
@girish I keep wanting to use it so be great to have in the app store!
-
Seems like it would be simpler to repackage anew now that it works, instead of cleaning LAMP stuff.
@girish which process do you think is easier?
-
@robi Definitely the former but in this case if the package is already functional, then it's probably easier to just delete all the LAMP stuff.
