The core booking-link loop can be cloned, but calendar reliability, time-zone correctness, reminders, and polished link UX make it more than a trivial script.

# SavvyCal indie build

## Goal

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

## Scope

Read availability, generate shareable scheduling pages, write booked events, and email confirmations.

## 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:
- overlay-calendar UX
- team links
- routing
- payments
- reminders
- support

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

questions
Vibecode SavvyCal

Kinda. The core of SavvyCal is buildable in a weekend with the prompt on this page, but there are real gaps: overlay-calendar UX, team links. Read the honest list above before committing.

How much does SavvyCal cost?

SavvyCal costs about $10/month (Basic, checked 2026-08-14), which is $120 per year.

What do I lose by replacing SavvyCal?

Honestly: overlay-calendar UX; team links; routing; payments; reminders; support. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to SavvyCal?

Yes: YouCanBookMe Free (One booking page, but it keeps forms, payments, confirmations, polls and the calendar-overlay trick.) zcal Free (The booker sees calendar conflicts on the page, and free also buys unlimited links, forms, reminders and polls.) The prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
