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 😊

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 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.
