Cal.com (was Calendso) - Calendly Alternative

[jdaviescoates]

Calendso now has CalDAV integration, making imho the best option for a self-hosted calendly alternative

https://github.com/calendso/calendso/discussions/62#discussioncomment-1187345

It'd be great to get this packaged!

[timconsidine]

@jdaviescoates just seen an email that CalDav is now available. You've probably got that also. But others may want to know.

[timconsidine]

@jdaviescoates ha ! beat me to it !

[chetbaker]

@timconsidine ha, same! I came running to see whether cloudron will support this soon

[jdaviescoates]

@chetbaker yes hopefully one of the @staff or @appdev lot will package this soon!

I know @girish uses Calendly so perhaps he'd be interested in using this great self-hosted tool instead?

[jdaviescoates]

Oh, just noticed that they've rebranded to Cal.com and released version 1 too, see:

3 letter domain name! Impressive.

[yusf]

@girish When you want to flex that VC.

@girish said in Cal.com (was Calendso) - Calendly Alternative:

That's the part I'm least impressed with personally, but maybe that's just because I've got ud.coop

[chetbaker]

@jdaviescoates Is there any way to vote again for cloudron to support this soon?

[timconsidine]

@jdaviescoates
should we not count the total characters in domain and tld ?
So cal.com = 6
ud.coop = 6

I got t60.uk = 5.

Anyone got 4 ?

[JLX89]

+1 On this!

[chetbaker]

has anyone been able to run calendso using caldav? I've been trying with no success using fastmail

[jdaviescoates]

@chetbaker yeah, I started playing with the hosted version. It's great! But the CalDAV integration doesn't really work at all

See https://github.com/calendso/calendso/issues/956

Yeah, it's a pity. I opened a couple of these issues while ago.

[jdaviescoates]

@chetbaker I think they'll sort it eventually and when they do this ought to be near the top of the list for apps to package.

[chetbaker]

@jdaviescoates big yes to that. I've been eager to make it work

[LoudLemur]

Big Data love to get into Calendar applications. Odoo has a calendar module, but it is geared towards Google Calendar and later supported Microsoft Outlook.

Free Software Calendar projects seem to be very slow off the mark to introduce non-proprietary calendar support. I hope Cal.com manages to support Free formats.

Is there anything much better than Cal.com ?

[chetbaker]

@jdaviescoates there's a promising pull request today https://github.com/calendso/calendso/pull/1300

[jdaviescoates]

@chetbaker yes, seems they are working through the CalDAV issues!

I tested the hosted Cal.com service earlier and it does now block out availability for times where there are events in my Nextcloud calendar, and creates an event when an appointment is booked.

I didn't seem to receive any email about it though...

But it's getting there! Really looking forward to having this on Cloudron as a great Calendly alternative!
