> Making calendar scheduling work for everyone.

Well... if that were the case then this would support caldav as an open standard or at the very least mention it- as it stands it only seems to support Google Calendar. And all other (prorietary) solutions this software wants to integrate with are marked "coming soon".

For a claims like

> Our mission is to connect a billion people by 2031.

and

> What email has done to communication, we hope Calendso will do to meetings.

Thats not a lot.

Anyway I tried to run it.

This is a step that should not be neccessary

> 7. Open the prisma schema with [Prisma Studio](https://www.prisma.io/studio)

to manually create a user in the database - presumably there is a way to have prisma create an initial "admin" (or other) user without making me drop into a database shell.

Once in in I tried to add a google calendar, but that gave me a big red JSON error.

This software seems to not be in a usable state.

You skipped the best (worst) part:

> 9. Fill out the fields (remembering to encrypt your password with BCrypt)

That's... A lot of manual work for something that surely is implemented in the code anyway (initialize a user).
