@gcupc I started #Orghub for this reason but been a long time since i worked in it but calendar was key:
https://gitlab.com/slackz/orghub/blob/master/app/views/calendar/index.haml
Works well for various stuff and is really slim:
https://fullcalendar.io
Sweeet, much progress this weekend. Added ability to add calendar items from event pages (convenient!), also sending emails to individuals from contacts page, also toptevel org switcher. This will allow content and operations to be scoped to different organizations (so ppl can separate their work / spaces but also shares resources for coalition work)
Sweeeeeet, working more on this community organizing toolkit. Just added ability to select entries in contact list and then be able to send an email out to all those recipients. Also calendar pretty usable now!
TODO:
* snappy search / filtering to quickly find contacts
* option to contact via sms as opposed to email
* option for contacts to specify preferred method of contact and then message notification defaulting there
* many, many more todos
Working on the calendar system for #OrgHub. Psyched!
I have personally been wanting a replacement for google calendar and I know this will be goddamn useful for other organizers.
#Fullcalendar is an awesome open source library that is great! Super clean, nice docs, gorgeous UI, easy to use. I'm about it
To the design / css cognoscenti:
What are best resources to go from 0 to 60 with html5 / css3? I am just using purecss and dont wanna include any other framework. Really value elegant / simple design and just so feel so lost even with the basics rn.
Just have spent so much time on really basic design stuff and it's slowing me down considerably and look in bg not great.
This is for #OrgHub - a digital toolkit for community organizers.
TIA!
lol, this has been such a long-term proj and this is just the start, but I'm so thrilled to have something live.
#OrgHub is a toolkit for community organizers. It already contains a functional event / contact system, but eventually will be useful for mass notifications, coalition projects, calendar, etc.
I want to directly challenge the prevalence of google calendar, facebook events, etc.
Much love to the community organizers out there. Let's collaborate!
So much time, so many rewrites, battles with motivation / other obligations, etc... this is still very much a work in progress, but I wanted to give a short video intro about #OrgHub - a toolkit for community organizers.
This is meant to be a one-stop digital shop for a lot of common organizing tasks - secure, simple, directly accountable to community input and concerns
If you're at all interested in this project, let's chat!
Much love and solidarity,

Been meaning to do this for a while... hopefully useful or interesting to someone learning #ruby, #sinatra, #postgres or #ActiveRecord.
This is a live programming session working on #OrgHub - this community organizing toolkit. Just music and coding. Thinking of doing some more of these later, with maybe a bit more structure...
Enjoy :)
The entire source tree is about a dozen files and less than 400K. Straight up ruby connecting to postgres, working to make it responsive / delightful on mobile.
Oh yeah, and it's actually gonna do shit.
This project won't ever be "finished", but I'm sure as fuck about to ship something useful for community organizers soon
