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.

I was looking for something like this, thank you kindly

Please add some screenshots in the readme. There is only a wall of text :/

calendar frontend

no screenshot in readme

no demo website

You don’t know what a calendar looks like? 🗓️ /s I joke.

Fair points about screenshots and a demo.

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 🙂

OP, I echo the screenshot sentiment. It’s one of the top 5 things I look for in a project since I am a very visual person and I’m a sucker for a great looking UI. If I can’t find one on the dev’s site, I have to go do an image search which is hit or miss for opensource software at times. I realize you are early in the development stage, I get that. However, I would encourage you to put up some screenshots. They really help ‘sell’ the project.

Thank you for working on this project, and thank you for sharing it with the community.

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.

Apparently you’ve been promoted to developer. You have no choice but to take responsibility now 🫡

As OP mentioned in the post and in every one of their comments, OP is a satisfied and happy user of this project.

Their way of contributing to this project, is by posting about it here.

You and i are the only ones (for now) not thanking them for contributing “their project” to the open source community and complaining about the lack of screenshots.

Jeez, can’t people just read the full post? 😅

I’ll tell you honest that escaped me. Well, thanks for sharing. Much appreciated. I feel kind of silly. I was sitting here appreciating my greenery, and wondering just what is @kamenlady trying to tell me? Gotcha. Me skuzi

Boy do I have egg on my face now. Please have pity on an old head.

complaining about the lack of screenshots

For my part, it was a request not a demand or complaint. But yes, I do feel kind of stupid. I’m also giggling at OP’s last response and his reactions to all these requesting screens,

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

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.

How long have you been developing this? Answer me now.

Why does the development team suck so bad at getting back to people for simple questions like programming this for my palm treo before I go out of town tomorrow.

Stupid project. ¹⁄₁₀

Helllloooooo?????

Neat! I’m currently using GNOME Calendar and Thunderbird, but not really in love with either.

IDK why you’re getting so many down votes, people overlook things lol

Y’all chill out and be kind.

I’m absolutely terrible with time management and I don’t use any calendar. I’m excited to give this a go once it matures a bit :) thanks for contributing

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 👍

Yes, this was my personal “made me smile” post of the day

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

Alright, folks, the README has been updated by popular demand :)

All good, it just took me by surprise! Very nice gestured of you in any case :)

It made me laugh uproariously. Funny stuff.

I have been investing my time in building the functionality rather than focusing on “marketing”.

No worries mate. Understood.

hilarious

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 sharing looks rather promising!

If the caldav and cardav specs were more practical and less insane, we would probably have a lot more choice in software to these ends.

I’ve also had pretty good testing with One Calendar, but in general I prefer open source apps unless the proprietary app offers unique benefits.

less insane

You’re speaking from my heart.

I’d suggest adding this in an esit to your other comment for visibility. And, thanks.

Guys, your comments made my day :D

Had me rolling last night and this morning.
