This is a tool for (collective) participatory/collaborative projects. A calendar with tasks for self-administration of work for groups. The main goal for this tool is to provide a calendar for events, create tasks for an event and allow a user-task assignment via telegram.
Alternatively, other calendars are also supported.
you can create an event with tasks
and post it in your telegram group/channel, so a person can assign hirselfTo use this application in your telegram group, you must first complete following steps:
- create an account on dit-calendar-UI
- create a telegram Bot
- start a conversation with @Botfather and write
/newbot
- give your Bot a name, maybe a nice picture and please mention this website in your Bot description
- start a conversation with @Botfather and write
- start the program for your telegram Bot by clicking on
(you need an account but it's free)
- it will build&start the program from the current source code
- invite the new Bot to your telegram group/channel
Careful! This application is still in beta and will be further developed after some feedback from you. We will try to avoid code changes which will break an old version of a Bot. But we will only take the last release into account. If your Bot is already two versions behind, we don't promise compatibility.
After this program is deployed to heroku it will not be updated automatically! If you are interested in more features, you should check out new releases from time to time. To update your bot manually, you have to delete the program in heroku (under settings) and click on the heroku deploy button from step 3. again.
🌳 All programs have been developed with resource-saving in mind.
- the application will sleep after some time if nobody is using it, and will wake up as soon as someone interacts with the UI or the Bot.
- The server currently requires 4 milliCPU and 9 Mb RAM
- the dit-calendar-UI size is about 50 Kb
- but the Bot still need improvement
