Me, Peer, and hundreds of others have been looking for a more powerful calendar scheduling solution to replace Calendly. One that is customisable, integrates with anything, is white label and more. So, we decided to create our own. We've had over 500 people sign up on our early access list, and we already have an awesome community around Calendso. We're super happy to be finally launching it! We believe that nothing should stand between connecting humans and scheduling important events. That's why Calendso is open-source and available to everyone, for free. Our mission is to democratise and decentralise calendar scheduling, enabling everyone to be able to use calendar scheduling however they'd like. For instance, booking a COVID vaccine shouldn't happen on a server in another country that somebody else is in control of. That's why Calendso enables you to self-host your calendar scheduling, so that your data belongs to you. This enables government bodies and healthcare organisations to use Calendso for their scheduling needs, as existing SaaS alternatives don't meet the compliance requirements. What email has done to communication, we hope Calendso will do to meetings. We're here to make calendar scheduling work for absolutely everyone.

@baileypumfleet amazing! Thanks for making it open source!

Super excited about the launch of Calendso by @baileypumfleet! I couldn't hold back and made a video to explore the open source project and how to run it yourself:
I used Railway to spin up a quick development PostgreSQL and definitely will deploy it to Vercel and Railway for production.

@baileypumfleet This is amazing. Exactly what I have been thinking to build but could never find time. 🚀

@baileypumfleet Great initiative, and really needed for country-specific sensitive data requirements.

@baileypumfleet Wow, thanks a lot! Thats awesome!!

I notice there is no support for time zones. https://github.com/calendso/cale...

@abram ya, the app looks fantastic and amazing that it's open-source, but this is a *glaring* miss for a calendar booking app. At no point in the UI does it even show the user what timezone they're selecting times in (and it's not their own unless they're in London, which is what they probably think it is). Makes ya kinda wonder what else was missed, eh?

@abram Someone already implemented this feature and made a PR couple of hours ago, so will not be a problem anymore.

@abram @boraoztunc fantastic!

@abram @boraoztunc @peer_rich that's open source for ya
Nikolay Karelin
@abram @boraoztunc Unfortunately, the issue is still open... sad!

@bacakad We believe that open source enables us to make calendar scheduling accessible to everyone, and we've had such good feedback from the open source community on this.

Does it support payments via stripe?

@school_4_ants yes it does!
Hunter Carter
Awesome!! #1 feature for me. I didn’t see it on the landing page - maybe that could be highlighted clearly somewhere
Chris Dietrich
Fantastic to see an open source alternative to the calendar/p2p-scheduling layer. The UI is great as well, but the main magic is being able to do deeper integrations. Can't wait to try it out.
Bailey Pumfleet
Maker
@chrisdietr Absolutely, the ability to add completely custom integrations is one of the core principles of Calendso. We're working hard to build many more off-the-shelf integrations, but if you for instance wanted to add a custom integration with an LMS for instance, Calendso allows you to do that easily.
Aleks Bochkov
This is fantastic! Thanks for offering it as an open source solution 🚀
Johannes
Definitely needed - kudos to Bailey and Peer for the development velocity! Can't wait to see the project unfold 🚀

@jobenjada Thank you very much Johannes, we managed to get this built in about a month and a half, and we have huge plans going forward for the future. 📈

Finally I found something as an alternative to Calendly! I would work on the monetisation system more properly though, as now it looks like you are not going to earn good money with the product. Good luck guys.

@daryna_radiichuk We've mainly been focused on just getting this launched and available for everyone as open source. We'll be focusing on our SaaS offering, enterprise support and custom integrations (all monetisation methods) soon.

@baileypumfleet sounds great!

@hung_faler We made it open source because we believe that calendar scheduling should be available to anyone, without cost being a limitation.

I was so tired of all the different schedulers attempts to fit everyone’s idiosyncratic needs all at once. “Open source Calendly”? Yes, please! Thanks for being awesome @baileypumfleet @peer_rich
Tyler Sellhorn
So proud to be an early supporter of @baileypumfleet @peer_rich
Dominik Sobe
Congrats on the launch! :) Great to see a OS alternative to Calendly. A minor thing I noticed: You can actually confirm a booking without entering any information and just clicking on the "book" button (tried it with demo)

@sobedominik Thanks! We’re soon implementing more input validation to fix this

Great, I love that it's open source! 🙌🏼
