Context: was looking for a decent service to give me a calendar a little while back but one thing that kept stopping me is there seems to be absolutely no service that just offers you a nice calendar, its only email services that happen to offer a calendar on the side.
I don’t want another email. I have enough, and my current one is tied down to gmail (but I’d prefer if my calendar wasn’t).
I’m sure there must a historical reason for this, but also why is does it still persevere?
One is a scheduling and time management thing, the other a communication system. I don’t need to sign up for a messaging app to have a todo list.
The two aren’t even well integrated smh.
you lost me at invites
It’s fine if you don’t have a need for invites. But question was why are they integrated, and that’s why. For work I’m sure I send or receive a calendar invite every day. If my calendar wasn’t integrated with my mail client it would add a lot of friction to that process.
