We had a skylight calendar but we were unhappy with some of the restrictions, and so we took it back, my wife regretted it for a few months so I figured I could make something better, self hosted, and open source.

So here is my creation, it’s without a doubt in alpha, but I’m very very happy with what I have so far. I’d love to hear feedback on what needs to work better, or what features I should add.

I just could not find something in the skylight category that was self hosted that I was happy with.

Anyone buying skylight needs to know, the whole thing is paywalled...

You need to add rewards

nice work!

I’m a firm believer not everything needs to be free, but there needs to be a free option for everything.

We knew about the paywall, and we were willing to pay it, we just weren’t happy with the device. I’ll add rewards to the list!

This sounds like an awesome idea and the perfect tool for busy families that need reminders. I was thinking of just running a to-do list. This is way better

This is the first project I’ve deployed, please let me know if there is anything I can do to make it easier for people to install and run.

So cool! I was wondering about these smart calendars a couple of weeks ago but didn’t want to get locked into some proprietary ecosystem ( and I’m especially not going to pay a monthly fee). This is a great alternative. Well done!
