Context: was looking for a decent service to give me a calendar a little while back but one thing that kept stopping me is there seems to be absolutely no service that just offers you a nice calendar, its only email services that happen to offer a calendar on the side.
I don't want another email. I have enough, and my current one is tied down to gmail (but I'd prefer if my calendar wasn't).
I'm sure there must a historical reason for this, but also why is does it still persevere?
One is a scheduling and time management thing, the other a communication system. I don't need to sign up for a messaging app to have a todo list.
Tech giants basically. But that doesn't mean every company goes this way. There are plenty of companies for like todo lists. Or notes. Or messaging. Or any of the 10 million sub-categories of productivity apps.
They may not be popular but they are out there. For categories like notes there's dozens of them.
Not calendars though, that seems to be the exception.
