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.
