Fair questions
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/booking-page-mvp. $99 buys the packaged installer, 1-click setup, updates and priority support.
Does it sync with Google Calendar?
Not two-way — that's Calendly's strongest feature and we'll say so. Bookslot sends .ics invites your calendar ingests, and you block busy times manually. If you live across 3 synced calendars, Calendly earns its fee.
Do I need a server?
For a public booking page, yes — a $5 VPS with the included Docker setup. Desktop mode works for managing availability and bookings locally.
Is the timezone handling actually correct?
Yes — bookings are stored in UTC, availability is computed DST-safely in your timezone, displayed in the visitor's, and the math is unit-tested including DST gap days.
Can visitors cancel or reschedule?
Yes — every confirmation email includes a private tokenized cancel/reschedule link.
