Cal.diy README
Cal.diy’s README distinguishes its community scheduling project from the commercial Cal.com service, explains its self-hosted intent and gives development setup routes.
Our interpretation
Useful when you are building…
Open-source products whose README must separate a community edition from a commercial service and clarify the intended deployment context.

Patterns and sections
About Cal.diy
The README identifies the community edition and describes its scheduling purpose.
What’s different from Cal.com?
A dedicated section distinguishes the community project from Cal.com.
Getting Started
Prerequisites and setup routes make the local development path explicit.
Section labels refer to the reviewed public source. Visual design and mobile behavior of the external page were not evaluated.
Adaptation ideas
What to apply to your own product
- State the supported use case and intended audience before installation steps.
- Explain which edition is community-supported and where the commercial offering differs.
- Put prerequisites beside the first setup command.
Tradeoff to consider
The README describes a self-hosted community project and development instructions; it does not promise production support for every deployment.
Starting route
Read “What’s different from Cal.com?” and review prerequisites before starting local setup.
