This episode introduces Open Web Calendar, a customizable tool designed for embedding calendars on websites without compromising user privacy. It addresses common frustrations with traditional calendar services, such as high costs, generic designs, and data privacy concerns. Open Web Calendar uses an ICS file to display events beautifully on a website, functioning as a visual frame rather than a separate app. Being open source, it allows users to modify and share the code, ensuring transparency and control over the software. Users can choose time zones, connect multiple calendars, and customize the display options, including what information to show and the visual style. The platform is user-friendly, offering a hosted version for beginners and self-hosting options for tech-savvy users. With active community support and backing from the NGI ZeroCore Fund, Open Web Calendar is positioned for ongoing development. Overall, it provides a flexible, privacy-focused solution for displaying events online, empowering users to take control of their digital presence.
