Tempted to buy cal.zone or cal.sucks just to add the paid features to cal.diy. They even made a list!

  Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed
cal.ws is $630 on Namecheap... the tokens required to build this are cheaper than the domain.

As a former cal.com advocate, I am now going to be switching my two companies to cal.diy or a similar alternative and canceling my cal.com subscriptions. I am now actively rooting for cal.com to go out of business now as a cautionary tale for any company thinking about taking open source projects proprietary. FOSS || GTFO

You might want to double-check the cal.diy maintainer before your wish is granted..

I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more. I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates. https://cal.rs/ and https://github.com/lennart-k/rustical A…

Seems to be mostly vibe coded.

I'm surprised cal.zone is not taken already

Yes, sadly. :(

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I still remember when they launched here. "Opensource Alternate to Calendly" was their post title.

What do you want, it’s hard to resist VC money and “the enterprise offering”

Not impossible though, I run a directory of open-source alternatives and rarely do you see what Cal.com did. Projects gets abandoned yes, but a pure bait and switch like this really grinds my gears. This is from someone who is self hosting Cal.com right now and now they are going to strip even more features.

It rubs me the wrong way that it says it's "the open source community edition". Who decided this was the one? How of the community is Claude? Why open source and not free software?

Maybe I'm being critical but the copy gives me the ick

Edit: I just realised this is by cal.com. I'm leaving my comment intact, if anything it adds to my ick

It is vibe-coded by people from Vates, the company maintaining https://github.com/xcp-ng

Their internal IT infrastructure runs self-hosted OSS wherever possible. I don't think cal.rs is a toy project, they know the perils and headaches of doing open source.

This actually makes me wonder if cal.com has had a security breach in their hosted offering that they are not disclosing.

It seems to be more that they're using "security" as a reason for going closed source, so this is just sticking with the story.

Fair point.

Bonus: if you pick cal.zone you can have fun with pizza puns.
