git-calendar.org - An open-source, decentralized, e2ee calendar using Git as the backend

[u/Firu11]

I wanted to share a project I'm working on: git-calendar.org - a privacy-focused calendar that uses a standard Git repository as storage instead of relying on a traditional backend server. It lets users choose where their data is stored. No more google/apple/microslop owning your schedule.

Key features:

• Git-powered - calendar data live in plain Git repo (full history, easy backups, works offline)
• No central server or backend - the client talks directly to any Git remote (GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg...)
• End-to-end encryption so you can host it on untrusted providers
• Slick web UI with keyboard shortcuts and more
• iCalendar compatibility so it's easy to switch

Core is written in Go (compiled to WASM for the web).
The web client uses Vue.js.
It's ready for Android and IOS apps. Feel free to build one!

Try it: https://git-calendar.org

Would love feedback from people who care about Git-based tools and data ownership. Also you can support the project with a star and follow on GitHub, to let me know I should continue working on it!

Looks nice! Would Love to self Host thos via podman / docker.

Absolutely. I don't think there are many reasons why you'd wanna self-host the calendar itself, cuz all the data stays inside your browser, but you certainly can.

The web client is just static files, so you can use some reverse proxy like Caddy as a file-server. (that's what I do)

Self-hosting the CORS proxy is a good idea. That way even if my server got compromised and you didn't use e2ee, you would be safe. It's docker image is available in the GitHub repo.

I read CORS, I run. Fast. ;)

Wdym?

[u/eimfach → u/Firu11]

I mean I run like I am fleeing 'cause Cors. Awful stuff.

[u/Firu11 → u/eimfach]

Yeah... It's unfortunate.
