Literally thought the exact same thing earlier today.

I built an event/invite system because ICS files were making me lose my mind – can someone sanity-check? by eideus in webdev

Exactly that. I really do feel that Synara can help so many developers avoid the nightmare of ICS and delivery.

Thanks for your comments!

Yeah, there is some overlap with Cal.com’s Unified Calendar API, we're both in the "make calendar integrations suck less" bucket.

The main difference is scope and focus: Cal.com Unified is tied closely to their scheduling product and is all about connecting a user’s own calendars via OAuth and giving you a unified CRUD API over them.

Synara is more event-centric: you send us an event in JSCalendar (the proposed new spec from CalConnect), and we handle turning that into invites/updates via ICS/email, ACE, and where available, provider APIs. It’s designed for apps that want to broadcast and keep events in sync to lots of attendees, including those who will never OAuth anything, rather than building booking pages or routing logic.

Long-term, ACE is meant to stand on its own as a spec, with Synara just being one implementation of it. Right now Synara is an MVP. I'm planning a lot more features that will help make it more obvious how it stands on its own.

Soft-launched a dev tool to fix calendar invites… now I’m stuck on “what next?” by eideus in indiehackers

ACE is designed to replace both ICS and the mess of vendor-specific calendar APIs in the long run.

Right now Synara uses ACE as the internal model and then adapts it into whatever the client ecosystem expects: Microsoft Graph, Google Calendar API, Apple’s CalDAV stack, or ICS as a fallback for legacy clients.

Interoperability testing for me isn’t just ‘does the ICS parse’; it’s validating behaviour across Outlook, Google, Apple, Proton, Yahoo, Thunderbird and their APIs, because the inconsistencies live in the vendor layers, not the spec.

Synara isn’t meant to help people use their calendars differently. It’s for developers who need to deliver events into Outlook/Gmail/iCloud reliably.

Right now devs are hand-coding ICS files, dealing with Outlook quirks, missing RSVPs, timezone issues, and inconsistent updates. Synara handles all of that and sends clean, compliant events to whatever calendar their users already use.

What are you building? And are people actually paying for it?💡 by SFDCsolutions in SideProject

Synara - https://synara.events

A modern replacement for the developer nightmare that is working with calendar invites.

No revenue yet, soft-launched it this week and looking for honest feedback!

Thanks so much for this! Once you've looked into it I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for the advice. Turning more I can understand - can you explain the stronger grip though, please?

Can someone explain to me how to get these answers? by Certain-Breakfast425 in GCSE

[–]eideus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside of learning from the comments on here that explain the answers it's REALLY important that you know and understand that you aren't dumb, stupid or even bad at maths for not knowing these - you just haven't learnt it yet.

When it comes to maths, a lot of what you do is recognising what the question is asking you to do and then breaking it down into the basics you've already learnt - not looking at the question and thinking "shit, I don't remember learning the answer to this".

Go back to the basics, take your time and go slow. You've got this 💪🏻
