I think you left this comment on the wrong article ;)

Haha yes, but it was unrelated either way

I fail to see features that default iOS calendar app already has. The UI seems really simple and there is dozens of amazing calendar apps that have been on the market for 10+ years of features in this price range.

presumably local-first

It looks well done. It is a shame that people posting reviews can be such dickheads. Out of the 4 public reviews, 3 are 1 star and only one of those is because of an actual issue. One is because the app isn’t right for them. The other because they wanted dark mode (really? You like the app enough to care that it doesn’t have dark mode but still gave it a 1 star?)

hmmm... a planner is one of the few things that i'd like to have access to regardless of what i'm using... One of the few things i don't mind and even slightly prefer to be online first for seemless sync (with the ability to edit and add to offline ofcourse)

Local-first should mean that you do have it regardless of what you're using. Point 2 in Ink&Switch's original essay is "Your data is not trapped on one device". https://www.inkandswitch.com/essay/local-first/

FWIW, the term "local-first" wasn't coined by Ink&Switch so different people have different understanding of the term.

But, Ink&Switch rule regardless, I love what they're doing and everyone would be better off doing "local-first" in the way they suggest, don't get me wrong.
