I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more.

I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates.

Seems to be mostly vibe coded.
It is vibe-coded by people from Vates, the company maintaining https://github.com/xcp-ng

Their internal IT infrastructure runs self-hosted OSS wherever possible. I don't think cal.rs is a toy project, they know the perils and headaches of doing open source.

Yes, sadly. :(
Who gives a shit. Cal.com is written by hand and the code is absolute garbage. Of all people that should be luddites I never imagined software engineers would be the most pointlessly staunch advocates of that philosophy.
LLM-assisted is different from vibe-coded. Weird how you're so defensive about it, though
You might want to look up what Luddism was all about. Hint: it's not about being anti-technology, but about fairness.
sadly it's one of the strictly viral license AGPL , i prefer the more permisive one
people are claiming cal.com did a bait and switch

AGPL (specially if you take external contributions) is the one license where one can't do a bait and switch

If anything, if people are concerned about companies doing a 180 on open source, they should demand more AGPL, not less
