I'm Tom, and I started building Schedule-X last year. At that point, I had been building calendars for the past couple of years, and I noticed the lack of a framework-agnostic modern take on event calendars in the JavaScript world.
The calendars out there lacked a sense of modern design and modern requirements for web apps, like responsiveness & dark mode. And I wanted to fix this.
With Schedule-X, I'm offering the JavaScript community a full event calendar, open sourced and for free.
Meanwhile, I'm also monetizing the project through selling premium plugins that help software teams ship faster, and enhance their calendars.
Looking into the future, I'm now also considering taking a first few steps to enhancing the project with AI tools. This is an area where I'm curious for any type of input, so if you have any ideas on how to enhance a calendar with AI, feel free to throw those ideas at me 😊

Congratrulations on your launch @tom_osterlund, Would love to know what has been the motivation behind Schedule-x, how did you identify the problem, what got you started?
Maker
@bilalasif it started back when I was building a startup a couple of years ago, and we needed an event calendar. I was just not impressed with the available options out there, because they all looked outdated, and didn't offer the flexibility we needed.
That's how I started building a JS calendar.
Then the project I built got some traction, and companies worldwide started using my calendar. That's when I decided to build a product out of it
Thanks a lot for your support :)
@tom_osterlund Makes sense, i love all the founders who identify the problem in house and start working on it and eventually it becomes a huge success all the very best.
Congrats on the launch Tom and good luck!
This deserves a lot of love and support, it's looking so polished and refined. Love it.
PS: Nice you've included Dark Mode 🤩

@mig_loren Thanks a lot Miguel!
Yea, I'm doing my best to match the expectations of emerging web projects, and dark mode is definitely one of those things many people expect today 😊
Seeing @tom_osterlund build Schedule-X has been super inspiring! It looks awesome and is only going to get better. When I'm in the need for an Event Calendar, Schedule-X will be my go to! Super clean and crisp! Thanks for sharing your journey of Schedule-X on X (😆)! And congrats on the launch! 🎉

Hello Mr. Tom, I recently came across one of your JavaScript projects, and I must say, it's incredibly impressive! Your work truly inspires me, and I wanted to take a moment to express my admiration.
As a junior software engineer with a deep passion for technology, I’m eager to continue growing and advancing in this field. I would love to know if you have any advice or insights that could help me on my journey, especially to move beyond my current stage and reach new heights in my career.
Congratulations again on your recent big achievement, and thank you for being such an inspiration.
Best regards.
Congratulations, Tom!
You've created an amazing product, and I'm thrilled to be using it in my project.
I currently don't use Schedule-X because I'm not building an app that currently needs a calendar but if I'll need a calendar in the future I will instantly use Schedule-X! It's really well built and it will save you a lot of hours of work, effort and frustrations. Also, I've been engaging with Tom on Twitter/X and he's one of the nicest persons I've met there. Love reading his posts about pragmatic ways of building an open-core SaaS and his build in public journey in general. I'm sure a lot of people (including me) are learning a lot from what he's sharing. Give him a follow on X, he deserves it - https://twitter.com/TomOesterlund

@john200ok thanks a lot for these kind words John! Really appreciate it ❤️ love chatting with, and learning from you too!
@john200ok I can agree and can relate to this. Tom has been super nice and supportive to every question I threw at him.
I can already see that he will be a super support for all his customers.
I wish him luck with this one.
This sounds like an incredibly promising project! 🎉 Open-sourcing a modern JavaScript event calendar that rivals FullCalendar is not just ambitious but genuinely beneficial for the developer community.
Schedule-X looks fantastic! 🎉 I love the focus on modern design and features like dark mode! Can't wait to see how it evolves with AI. Great job, @tom_osterlund! Keep up the amazing work! 🚀

@star_boat thanks a lot! Yes, let's see if I find some way of integrating AI in a way that helps people.
love the modern design.
any thoughts on integrating AI for event suggestions or optimizing schedules?
Maker
@abhaytalreja definitely! built a prototype for scheduling, and removing events using prompts. But haven't tried launching this yet. Also curious to see if there is potential for other types of AI features in a calendar
Wonderful project Tom. My best part for me is the dark mode you implemented. Sweet 👍
