  • 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 🙂



  • I see myself in your profile. It took me ages to take the leap.

    I first tried seeking help in r/selfhosted and got discouraged by the elitist community.

    I just ate dozens of hours of YouTube content, bought a Raspberry Pi 4, and failed numerous times.

    The fact is, I was stuck in the anomalous state of knowledge.

    So just go ahead, hit and miss, but as an ADHD, document everything. EVERYTHING. Every step you take, every thing you learn.

    The community here is a lot friendlier than Reddit’s, so don’t be afraid of asking, as long as it’s well formulated.

    And one thing I didn’t have when I took my first steps is AI. It was made for this: getting out of the anomalous state of knowledge. It will help you define what’s missing so you can ask the proper questions.

    Have fun learning!

    It’s a shame to dismiss the mastery of language as mere pedantry, when in fact it’s a tool for precision and respect for those who read us. In an age when automatic correctors make writing accessible to everyone (including those with challenges like severe dysorthographia) deliberately choosing approximation is to miss an opportunity: the chance to rise above, to communicate without ambiguity, and to show that we value our audience.

    Language is not a cage. It’s a bridge. Why settle for the easy path when, with a little care, we can open doors?
