That's a good idea, thank you. I used to receive .ics files in email attachments all the time and the format seems easy to work with.

Thank you for your kind words! Everyone has their own preference for calendar apps, it's understandable :)

Hi! I appreciate your comments. In the future I might charge for premium features, but right now there is no clear monetization plan. It's a lightweight app so I don't mind hosting it for free now.

You can trust it, both that the app won't be shut down without a notice, and that your data will not be shared / viewed by anyone else.

Launching native apps will be lots of effort though. Web apps are much easier to update, share, and customize (e.g. KittyCal has different icons for User 1 and User 2)

Hope this answers your questions.

Week numbers is achievable (probably allocate a 10px column on the left), but starting day of the week is more of a personal preference I think. Will leave it for the user to decide.

I have a planned feature that lets you “zoom in” on a specific day or week. Stay tuned!

Notifications can be supported. (As long as the user device supports push notification from the browser)

This is the very first version, will gradually improve upon it.

Good point. I can read your content but I promise I won’t.

Hi, thanks for checking it out :)

Exactly like you said KittyCal started as a “toy” so I designed it as a private space for couples didn’t think much about integrating existing calendars. Also KittyCal intentionally gives up hourly scheduling so any event created would automatically become a full-day event if synced to external calendars.

CalDAV does seem interesting, will definitely look into it.

Usually there’s a button called “Add to Home Screen” in the dropdown menu of your mobile browser. Can you try that?

Yes, it's searching artifacts. Unfortunately searching symbols is not feasible until I have a larger budget. (Probably need TBs of index)

The keyboard navigation doesn't work yet, will fix in the next release.

Thanks, I've done what I could to improve the lighthouse scores. Hoping it will be indexed soon.

Sorry for the confusing terminology -- "External link resolution" just means links to any direct/transitive dependencies will be resolved. It takes more time and memory to generate so by default those links would be broken (marked in red).

Thanks for pointing that out, will fix soon.

That's right! It's a custom HTML renderer with custom css and client-side js for navigation and search.
