The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Cal.com Teams, self-host a team booking service with event types, availability, and routing. The hard boundary is managed hosting, connectors, upgrades, support, and enterprise controls, plus calendar integrations and reliability.

# Cal.com Teams indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core Cal.com Teams workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Publish team availability with event types and routing from a self-hosted booking service, create conflict-safe bookings, and send confirmations and reminders.

## Quick start

1. Install the documented dependencies.
2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`.
3. Run the development command chosen during implementation.
4. Complete the acceptance checks in `BUILD_PLAN.md`.

## Honest limits

This build deliberately does not replace:
- managed hosting, connectors, upgrades, support, and enterprise controls
- multiple calendar providers
- team routing and round-robin
- payments
- timezone edge-case maturity

If those capabilities are essential, use Cal.com instead of pretending the gap is solved.

why people still pay

People still pay for Cal.com Teams because people pay because one double booking or missed invite can cost more than years of subscription fees. The recurring cost buys OAuth refresh, webhooks, timezone databases, race conditions, reminders, deliverability, privacy, and uptime, not just the visible interface.
