I AM NOT THE DEV

Hi all,

There are plenty of CalDAV servers out there, but surprisingly very few good self-hosted web interfaces to actually access and manage your calendars.

For the past couple of years I've been following a project called Luna, and I think it deserves a bit more visibility here: https://github.com/Opisek/luna

It can pull calendars from multiple sources (CalDAV, Google, iCal links, etc.) and bring them together in a single interface.

For people like me with a constantly changing, busy, and somewhat chaotic schedule, having everything in one place like this is incredibly useful.

The project is still young, but it's progressing steadily, and the developer has been very patient and responsive whenever I've interacted with him.

Just wanted to share it here and show some support.

PS: I think the developer didn’t really expect anyone to promote the project or draw attention to it yet 🙂 Screenshots will probably come in time. It’s still a young project, so a little patience goes a long way.

Hello all, I'm the developer.

It seems there's been a containment breach and word of my passion project got out.

No, there are no screenshots in the README yet. I wasn't expecting to attract a lot of attention yet and I wasn't going to spread the word of the project before I felt comfortable enough to release the 1.0.0 version. Hence, I have been investing my time in building the functionality rather than focusing on "marketing".

Since there does seem to be a sizeable interest in the project, I will expedite writing a presentable README and other documentation as my current priority.

Remember, I'm just a singular developer with other responsibilities and worries on my mind, too. I hope the current lack of screenshot doesn't undermine the effort that I've put into the project thus far.

In any case; I hear you. Again, I'll get on to the screenshots and more complete installation/configuration guides ASAP.

Hey, I didn’t expect this to attract that much attention 😅

It was just meant to be a small appreciation post, and it kind of took on a life of its own.

Hope I didn’t put you in an uncomfortable spot. My ADHD sometimes gets the better of my enthusiasm and I get a bit carried away.

As always, thanks a lot for the great work. I’m still happy to help however I can 👍

All good, it just took me by surprise! Very nice gesture of you in any case :)

I'm absolutely terrible with time management and I don't use any calendar. I'm excited to give this a go once it matures a bit :) thanks for contributing

No worries mate. Understood.

[-] civ@lemmy.civl.cc 13 points 1 month ago

Apparently you've been promoted to developer. You have no choice but to take responsibility now 🫡

[-] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Jeez, can’t people just read the full post? 😅

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

How long have you been developing this? Answer me now.

Why does the development team suck so bad at getting back to people for simple questions like programming this for my palm treo before I go out of town tomorrow.

Stupid project. 1/10

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Helllloooooo?????

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You and i are the only ones (for now) not thanking them for contributing "their project" to the open source community and complaining about the lack of screenshots.

[-] penguin@lemmy.pixelpassport.studio 2 points 1 month ago

I was looking for something like this, thank you kindly

[-] uuj8za@piefed.social 1 points 1 month ago

Neat! I'm currently using GNOME Calendar and Thunderbird, but not really in love with either.

[-] Sunny@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for sharing looks rather promising!

[-] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 0 points 1 month ago

Please add some screenshots in the readme. There is only a wall of text :/

[-] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Fair point about screenshots.

Just to clarify though: I'm not the developer, I'm just someone who has been following the project for a while and wanted to give it a bit of visibility here because I think it's promising.

Since it's still a young project, the README is understandably a bit rough around the edges. My post was mainly meant as a heads-up for people interested in self-hosted calendar tools, not as a finished product showcase.

That said, constructive suggestions like adding screenshots are definitely useful, opening an issue, like @inari@pifed.zip did, or contributing to the README would probably help the project more than my post ever could 🙂

Boy do I have egg on my face now. Please have pity on an old head.

[-] Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

Alright, folks, the README has been updated by popular demand :)

calendar frontend

no screenshot in readme

no demo website

[-] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Thanks for the

summary

🙂 Just to clarify, I’m not the developer. I’m just sharing the project I’ve been following for a couple of years. If you have suggestions like adding screenshots, the most useful way to help the project would be to open an issue or contribute.

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

You don't know what a calendar looks like? 🗓️ /s I joke.

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago

OP, I echo the screenshot sentiment. It's one of the top 5 things I look for in a project since I am a very visual person and I'm a sucker for a great looking UI. If I can't find one on the dev's site, I have to go do an image search which is hit or miss for opensource software at times. I realize you are early in the development stage, I get that. However, I would encourage you to put up some screenshots. They really help 'sell' the project.

Thank you for working on this project, and thank you for sharing it with the community.

[-] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

As OP mentioned in the post and in every one of their comments, OP is a satisfied and happy user of this project, not the dev.

Their way of contributing to this project, is by posting about it here.

[-] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I'll tell you honest that escaped me. Well, thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. I feel kind of silly. I was sitting here appreciating my greenery, and wondering just what is @kamenlady trying to tell me? Gotcha. Me skuzi

[-] Whostosay@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

IDK why you're getting so many down votes, people overlook things lol

Y'all chill out and be kind.
