#2Brilliant! Each item could include a meeting link to debug the failed part together :) Perfect for the remote-first world.

#3This is great work, I love how it's basically using gcal as a rendering engine.
We are building something similar for Cronitor that will work for any kind of scheduled job. If anybody is interested in beta testing or hearing more I would love to chat.

#5Believe it could be also relatively easy to adapt it to other scheduling solutions. As long as schedule expression and job/DAG run history and can be provided that is.

#8Hello, thanks for open sourcing this terrific project. I like the idea but am a little confused about usage. How do you recommend monitoring existing pipelines, with an additional pipeline or by modifying the existing one?

#9This looks very neat!
Just a thought - one that could involve implementation challenges and/or require too much effort to be worthwhile:
It might be possible to generate iCalendar-format schedules, which could widen compatibility and ease up the access permissions concerns you mention in the readme.
Python has a decent icalendar[1] library - and updates to existing entries be handled by ensuring that the ID for each schedule object is stable when updates are distributed[2].

iCalendar is a pretty nice format to use and well supported, but the trouble that you then need a website to host the iCalendar file. It adds more yak-shaving to the process.
