This looks neat...but there's no self-hosted option (or doesn't seem to be?). I'm going to suspect that many users who are interested in using a plain-text calendar/todo system like this would prefer hosting the result themselves rather than piping it through a cloud service.
That said, I really like this model for constructing calendars from easy text files. It would make it a lot easier to create shared calendars from a bunch of engineers that all use different calendaring clients, especially if this could make a read-only ICS available for import into a client. I could imagine creating a text calendar file in a git repository and managing additions using pull requests, for instance...
- ngduc 10y agoThank you for your feedbacks. For the local hosting, it currently stores calendar data in the browser (localStorage), and sync back (for private calendars) when you're online & logged in. Right now, users can save data to Dropbox (app folder). I plan to create a cross-platform desktop app (using Electron) so user can save to files also. That's a great idea about git! I also thought about it. Importing feature is being developed. In the next few days, users will be able to import from a public webpage (Github, Google Sites, etc.) & publish the read-only calendar to other users. If you could become a beta user for this feature, I'd really appreciate that. Please file a ticket at - https://github.com/TextCalHQ/Support https://github.com/TextCalHQ/Support
