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.
This is a bit off. The apps do not integrate in any way. Your calendar app sends an email via your email provider.
For example, you could use Simple Calendar Pro as your calendar app, and K9 Mail as your email app. If you send an invite, SCP does not need to use K9 to send the email invite. It sends the invite itself using the SMTP credentials.
