I'm Tom, and I started building Schedule-X last year. At that point, I had been building calendars for the past couple of years, and I noticed the lack of a framework-agnostic modern take on event calendars in the JavaScript world.
The calendars out there lacked a sense of modern design and modern requirements for web apps, like responsiveness & dark mode. And I wanted to fix this.
With Schedule-X, I'm offering the JavaScript community a full event calendar, open sourced and for free.
Meanwhile, I'm also monetizing the project through selling premium plugins that help software teams ship faster, and enhance their calendars.
Looking into the future, I'm now also considering taking a first few steps to enhancing the project with AI tools. This is an area where I'm curious for any type of input, so if you have any ideas on how to enhance a calendar with AI, feel free to throw those ideas at me 😊
I currently don't use Schedule-X because I'm not building an app that currently needs a calendar but if I'll need a calendar in the future I will instantly use Schedule-X! It's really well built and it will save you a lot of hours of work, effort and frustrations. Also, I've been engaging with Tom on Twitter/X and he's one of the nicest persons I've met there. Love reading his posts about pragmatic ways of building an open-core SaaS and his build in public journey in general. I'm sure a lot of people (including me) are learning a lot from what he's sharing. Give him a follow on X, he deserves it - https://twitter.com/TomOesterlund

Congratrulations on your launch @tom_osterlund, Would love to know what has been the motivation behind Schedule-x, how did you identify the problem, what got you started?

@bilalasif it started back when I was building a startup a couple of years ago, and we needed an event calendar. I was just not impressed with the available options out there, because they all looked outdated, and didn't offer the flexibility we needed.
That's how I started building a JS calendar.
Then the project I built got some traction, and companies worldwide started using my calendar. That's when I decided to build a product out of it
Thanks a lot for your support :)

Yea, I'm doing my best to match the expectations of emerging web projects, and dark mode is definitely one of those things many people expect today 😊

Sounds like a very useful tool, @tom_osterlund. Have just looked into Schedule-X from the outside, but it looks promising. Modern design, responsiveness, and dark mode are def needed features. Congratulations on the launch!
