Pendulum VS cal.com

I did the same with datetime and moved to using Pendulum.

Python could be better but really, does any language handle date and time types well? After 30+ years of this I mostly just use seconds since epoch everywhere like some sort of caveman banging rocks together. But at least it works clearly.

Last I looked Pendulum was the best choice for a fancy but humane Python library for dates and times. Install size is over 4MB :-( https://pendulum.eustace.io/

Good luck with your library, but for everyone else I’ll leave this here: https://pendulum.eustace.io/

Pendulum is quite good[0]. Relatively intuitive interface.

When I left Rails, this is one area I really missed.

Time.use_zone("Singapore") { (Time.zone.now - 3.days).beginning_of_week }

This readable line in datetime utils or even pendulum, is such a pain.

You shouldn't do manual date and time calculations, there are people dedicated to developing tools for that and they're giving those tools for free! An example, Pendulum for Python.

Yes, the datetime api once timezone is involved is quite bad in python.

This is why for anything that uses timezone, I use pendulum: https://pendulum.eustace.io/

It's compatible with the datetime api, but it has sane default, nice tools to convert between timezone, some cool date adjustment stuff, and can humanize time in several languages.

Basically, datetime has the same problem as text vs raw bytes in python 2.7, except it has never been fixed.

Bless you for using the stock library but Pendulum is a much more humane way to work with dates and times in Python.

Also, check the docs here if you're open to an alternative: https://pendulum.eustace.io/

Use Pendulum. It makes converting, adding and subtracting times trivially simple.

Cal.com is an open-source event-juggling scheduler for everyone, and is free for individuals.

Turborepo is a tool that makes it easy to manage monorepos with pnpm and typescript. On large open source porject like cal.com they use it for fast building or running developing tasks like testing or linting. Turborepo depend havily on caching so it would reduce signficantly the time to build or run the tasks as well as CI/CD pipelines time and cost.

The next codebase to analyse is cal.com. This repo is larger than jsoncrack. It is a monorepo with packages and lots of stuff going behind the scenes.

hey, peer here from cal.com. we have an issue where we track all individual caldav implementations: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/issues/9990

Cal - Alternative to Calendly

I force clients who want to talk to me to book a call. I use cal.com (free) and my Google Calendar (which its linked to) only allows calls on specific days/times. I have a few "Call Blocks" where they can book. That let's me do calls in a small section of my week, with ample downtime to recover the rest of the week. I'm still learning how many calls a day I can handle. Currently anything more than 2 is too much.

Cal.com- Cal.com is a scheduling tool that helps you schedule meetings without the back-and-forth emails.

Peer Rich (CEO at Cal.com)

Has any one deployed cal.com with selfhosted environment. Is yes how would have configured prisma for the same.

Recently I came across a company called cal.com, it's a Calendly alternative, but the catch is the entire software is open source: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com.
