The visible sales scheduling loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. lemcal earns its keep through OAuth, calendar reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

# lemcal indie build

## Goal

Build the smallest trustworthy replacement for the core lemcal workflow for one developer or a tiny team.

## Scope

Build a personal sales scheduling tool that reads one calendar, publishes availability, reserves a slot, and writes the event back.

## 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:
- race-free booking under load
- team routing and round robin
- reliable reminders and timezone edge cases
- calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness
- multi-calendar conflict handling

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

why people still pay

lemcal: People pay because a booking tool must never double-book them, leak private events, or send the wrong time to a client.

questions
Vibecode lemcal

Kinda. The core of lemcal is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: race-free booking under load, team routing and round robin. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does lemcal cost?

lemcal's pricing is usage-based or varies by plan · The official pricing URL is recorded, but a stable current amount was not safely recoverable in this pass. Do not publish a number until rechecked..

What do I lose by replacing lemcal?

Honestly: race-free booking under load; team routing and round robin; reliable reminders and timezone edge cases; calendar-provider edge cases and timezone correctness; multi-calendar conflict handling. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to lemcal?

Yes: zcal Free (Personalized one-use links, branded pages, reminders and Zapier are free; round-robin sales routing is paid.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
