SavvyCal's whole idea is one good UI decision: the recipient overlays their own calendar on yours instead of squinting at your slots. That is a nice piece of front-end work, and it is also just a front-end work - the hard parts underneath are the same free/busy read and event write everything else does. A bot can build this and host it, and because the differentiator is a single screen rather than a network or a data moat, a personal version gets genuinely close to the real thing.
the prompt
Written for a bot that already has a browser, a terminal and your logins · paste it in whole.
You have a computer, a browser and my Google account. Build me a scheduling link where the recipient can see their own calendar next to mine, and keep it running. What it does: - Reads my free/busy from Google Calendar and offers 30 and 60 minute slots, weekdays 09:00-17:00, 15 minute buffers, 2 hour minimum notice. - On the booking page, offer the visitor a 'show my calendar' button that reads THEIR Google free/busy in the browser and shades their busy blocks over my available ones. Read-only, in their browser, never stored on my side. Say so on the page. - Let me name a link (/coffee, /demo) with its own duration and hours. - On booking: write the event, invite the guest, confirm by email, remind 24 hours ahead. How to build it: - One web app, SQLite, admin behind a password from the env. - Register the Google OAuth client yourself and tell me when you need me to approve consent. - Get timezones right and test them: pick three timezones, book from each, prove the event landed at the right absolute time. Running it: keep it online on a stable URL, restart on crash, and tell me each morning only if yesterday's bookings failed to reach my calendar.
