    A bit early to migrate a UI library to Temporal?... Not really!

    1) SEO texts. Try phrasing like "alternative to {competitor}" for free-riding off your competitors back. 2) Get backlinks. Make sure other websites have links to yours. This will i…

    surprises me a bit about increasing speed. I would have thought that people who constantly rush it when walking suffer more from stress. But then maybe the study was more focused o…

    Very cool app! Are you considering adding a self-hosting alternative? Idea: you could for example do something like a €199 one time fee for people who'd like to self-host. I think …

    Amazing! This is so helpful for anyone building open source, wanting to avoid committing with the work email by mistake. Thanks

    I think this is a beautifully written article. There might be a lot of gems to learn from here. One thing makes me a bit sceptic though: "Clear your schedule, and read this book" I…

    Amazingly pretty! I'm not international enough to have a personal use case for this, but I admire the skill that went into this. Are you open sourcing this at some point?

    Thank you so much! It sure did, and still does teach me a lot

    You're right, the demo does not show it yet. Perhaps I should change that. However, in the demo you could drag one event onto another, and then you'll see how it looks when it's ov…

    This is gold for me. Thank you so much for taking the time! Will be sure to actually do a word-by-word reading of the spec before taking on recurrence x)

    Correct! In the week- and day views there is still no gap, only in the month view. The discussions here today though convinced me I should also allow for a gap in the week/day view…

    Thanks! Do you mean if any existing calendar can be used a backend? In that case, not out of the box. But I do intend to build a plugin for using Google Calendar as a backend.

    Thanks! I appreciate it :) Resizing is one of the next tasks in my backlog.

    Thanks! This is a great question. I intend to implement event recurrence, but this is definitely one of those things which will require changes across most packages of the project …

    I respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree :) Fullcalendar is a great calendar, but it is not material design.

    I like it! Never thought of this. Probably I could solve this by allowing an implementer to configure a range of days to be shown for each week.

    Thank you so much! I really enjoy it as well. I build them privately since 2 years, and at work too. For some reason I'm also still having a great time doing so.

    Thanks for sharing. Will look into Kiko! Though my main focus for now is to build the best possible open source calendar, I'm also pondering on ideas for possible business models t…

    Thank you so much :) And about the gotchas: Yea, I feel ya! This is my third stab at building a regular event calendar. At work I also build scheduling tools. Still, I discover the…

    This would be one way. Another way, which fullcalendar does, and which I intend to implement down the road, is Google calendar. You can actually use their calendar as a backend, an…
