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.

    EDIT: The README has been updated!

      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 👍

      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 🙂

    Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

      Yeah, I also just hooked up tbird to my radicale instance. It’s a bit overkill, but it does work to edit calendar items.

        I do wish they would spin off the Calendar into a standalone app, but they haven’t shown any interest in moving that direction. I use it for email anyway so I don’t mind.

      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.
