Bloben – Self-hosted web CalDAV calendar client

Hello all, I have been working on a self hosted CalDAV calendar client Bloben https://github.com/nibdo/bloben-app This is mostly an alternative to other web clients like great AgenDAV with some additional features I wanted to use like email invites, alarms, webcalendars, etc. You can play with demo (limited to read access) here: https://demo.bloben.com/api/v1/users/login-demo?username=dem...

In plain words

Bloben is a self-hosted web calendar client that syncs with CalDAV servers. It offers features including email invites, alarms, and webcalendar support as an alternative to similar web clients. The application is designed for self-hosting and plans to expand with separate clients for tasks and notes. Users can test a read-only demo before deployment.

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hello all, I have been working on a self hosted CalDAV calendar client Bloben https://github.com/nibdo/bloben-app This is mostly an alternative to other web clients like great AgenDAV with some additional features I wanted to use like email invites, alarms, webcalendars, etc. You can play with demo (limited to read access) here: https://demo.bloben.com/api/v1/users/login-demo?username=dem... In the end it should provide separate clients also for CalDAV tasks and notes. One thing I would maybe like to discuss more is adding encryption, which is obviously quite problematic when using standards like CalDAV. Initially I just added non-compatible fully encrypted calendars, but realised this might not be useful for many people using different clients. Something halfway is adding an option to protect only some, say sensitive, events by encrypting fields like title, description or location. That way events will still be displayed via standard mobile apps and decrypted only in Bloben client (with link to open from description). As part of this project I published also React calendar component https://github.com/nibdo/kalend Thank you, if you are interested and feel free to ask me anything.

    Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…
