I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more.

I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates.

And if you wanna try it out. https://cal.ache.one/u/ache

Seems to be mostly vibe coded.

    It is vibe-coded by people from Vates, the company maintaining https://github.com/xcp-ng

    Their internal IT infrastructure runs self-hosted OSS wherever possible. I don't think cal.rs is a toy project, they know the perils and headaches of doing open source.

    Who gives a shit. Cal.com is written by hand and the code is absolute garbage. Of all people that should be luddites I never imagined software engineers would be the most pointlessly staunch advocates of that philosophy.

      LLM-assisted is different from vibe-coded. Weird how you're so defensive about it, though

      You might want to look up what Luddism was all about. Hint: it's not about being anti-technology, but about fairness.
