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.
You do realize you can use a service that provides a bunch of different things, but only use the calendar feature and ignore everything else, right?
You can also use a local calendar app. Just don't connect it to anything.
I use the default Gnome Calendar (because Linux), but Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android have calendar apps as well. Obviously.
