Very cool, and nice to see more options here (especially open source ones). I remember looking five years ago, and being very surprised that there was no Stripe-equivalent for adding scheduling to an application.

Between this, https://www.timekit.io/, and https://www.spurwing.io/ (which is my project), hopefully people will stop re-inventing the scheduling wheel with each project.

Your project looks awesome, thanks for sharing! And yeah, hopefully new booking apps will have a lot of better options now than implementing the scheduling stuff themselves.

I would love to be able to use off the shelf software, sadly I have to integrate with an internal prosumer software. It's ugly to say the least to get the data, there's no proper sync flow, it's heavily rate limited... And I have no control over it. I would love to move the scheduling outside this software, but sadly it handle other part of the logistic flow needed (book some items, get ready the work order...)

So yeah. Booking is dead simple. If you don't have a complete logistic flow added on top of it.
