Flask Calendar

Overview

CircleCI Flask Calendar emerged as a solution for those seeking a practical alternative to Google Calendar, especially for users desiring more control and simplicity in their task management. The project originated out of a personal need to move away from Google services, resulting in a straightforward yet functional application. Built primarily with Python and Flask, it allows users to manage tasks effectively, offering features reminiscent of popular calendar applications while maintaining an intuitive user interface.

This calendar system provides users with a web-based platform that supports fundamental task management functionalities like task creation, editing, and organization. Despite its simple implementation, it delivers enough capabilities to handle daily scheduling without the complexities often found in more substantial applications.
