We thought about looking into a Sky calendar, but naturally for what they were offering we thought there had to be a self hosted solution.

Grocy seems to fit the bill and then some. The next challenge would be getting a touch display and mini computer to act as a kiosk to display it in the house somewhere.

Anyone else using grocy?

    The idea is that there might be multiple people in the household who will want to view and edit the list. Self hosting helps with synchronising state between the multiple devices that multiple people will be using.

        1. This gets our family calendar off of google.
        2. This has integrated tasks & chores the whole family can track status on.
        3. Even at 40 my ADHD is powerful.
        4. I’m a not spending $700 (and a yearly subscription) on the first two points when this exists for free[1].
        5. I’m already self hosting other things.
        6. Even at 40 my ADHD is powerful.

        I just wanted to find out if people used it and if the interface/calendar/process was shit.


        1. not including electricity, cost of display. ↩︎

          I honestly think its awesome. I live in a cave of isolation, so while it seems wildly unnecessary for me, if you could pull it off I would legitimately love to see it in action. It really seems like a neurodivergent with a large family’s wet dream.
