Your webpage seems nice. But what does it do? The features list mentions a lot of integrations, some only by icon. But I could not where find a succinct description of what it actually does. I've never heard of calendly. So reading it is the same as calendly doesn't really help. Unless you want your visitor go check calendly to find out what it does.

Well... if that were the case then this would support caldav as an open standard or at the very least mention it- as it stands it only seems to support Google Calendar. And all other (prorietary) solutions this software wants to integrate with are marked "coming soon".
For a claims like
> Our mission is to connect a billion people by 2031.
and
> What email has done to communication, we hope Calendso will do to meetings.
Thats not a lot.
Anyway I tried to run it.
This is a step that should not be neccessary

to manually create a user in the database - presumably there is a way to have prisma create an initial "admin" (or other) user without making me drop into a database shell.
Once in in I tried to add a google calendar, but that gave me a big red JSON error.
This software seems to not be in a usable state.

#13This really needs CalDAV integration to be interesting for either enterprise or personal use.
Especially with marketing like "Built for teams that need more control", "we're committed to give developers, small businesses and enterprise the power to connect with anyone and make friends or business", "Calendso comes with plenty of integrations, as well as the ability to build custom integrations for any platform out there"...

#14Does it offer multi-language support, or is it English only? I couldn't find that information anywhere.

#15Great product, much awaited! Feature request: Maybe consider adding terraform scripts or such for easier self hosting?
Re: Calendso: An open source Calendly alternative
#16Looks promising, was considering using Calendly for a SaaS app I just launched to book demos but will give Calendso a try.
Was wondering if there was an integration with Salesforce via Zapier.

You’re probably not the target audience then. Calendly is a $3 billion bootstrapped company, it has plenty of users. I’m relying on it increasingly week after week.

Yeah, I had to look up Calendly too to find out what this does. Definitely one thing to improve.

You skipped the best (worst) part:
> 9. Fill out the fields (remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt)
That's... A lot of manual work for something that surely is implemented in the code anyway (initialize a user).

#20When I try the product by clicking on to booking your time [1], my first question that pops up in my head is: What is the time zone? I couldn't find this information anywhere. Thanks
