KittyCal – minimalist PWA calendar app for couples

In plain words

KittyCal is a minimalist calendar web app designed for couples to share events and notes. Users enter an email address to receive a pair of personalized calendar links, then access their calendar via magic link or QR code without logging in. The app prioritizes simplicity by eliminating hourly scheduling and displaying all information on a single screen. It can be installed as a progressive web app on home screens for quick access, making it suitable for casual, everyday event tracking between two people.

Simple calendar application for couples

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi Fellow Hackers! I'm happy to share with you KittyCal, an installable calendar web app I made over the past two months. Existing calendar apps often focus on scheduling and require many steps to create one event. KittyCal, on the other hand, removes hourly scheduling and keeps everything on one screen. How does it…

  I've always wanted to build a calendar client, and so a little over a year ago I started to build nocal. For the most part, calendars are all the same — even contemporary calendars like CRON were just polished skins on the same old experience. There's been near-zero real innovation in years. They tell you what to do, but never help you do it. They're noisy, rigid, and often anxiety-inducing. I set out to build a calendar that focuses on the important things, and keeps the noise tucked away, and helps you be productive. nocal has a concept of weekly notes, which serve as a scratchpad for…

  I made a privacy friendly and simple app to track my menstruation2024 · play.google.com · ▲732

  Hey HN, after the app I actually used to track my period wanted me to log in and save my data in the cloud, I decided to write my own. Most apps in this area are based on a subscription model and display far too much information anyway. For me, a simple calendar is enough where I can add a few notes if necessary. So that is the result of my work - a simple design and the data is only saved on the smartphone.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  InstantDB – A Modern Firebase▲1,145

  Hey there HN! We’re Joe and Stopa, and today we’re open sourcing InstantDB, a client-side database that makes it easy to build real-time and collaborative apps like Notion and Figma. Building modern apps these days involves a lot of schleps. For a basic CRUD app you need to spin up servers, wire up endpoints, integrate auth, add permissions, and then marshal data from the backend to the frontend and back again. If you want to deliver a buttery smooth user experience, you’ll need to add optimistic updates and rollbacks. We do these steps over and over for every feature we build, which can…
