iCal: let me produce and consume!

Apple, Tech Add comments

iCal is a nice simple and clean program. However, it restricts me in a way that drives me nuts.

iCal seems to think that you can either publish a calendar for others, or subscribe to one, but not both.

This is frustrating as I have shared calendars that I really wish could be updated by multiple people. iCal doesn’t like that.

This leaves you with work arounds:

  • Just use Sunbird, as that use case works just fine
  • Have separate calendars for each person, and use the same colors so it LOOKS the same on the calendar

Come on Apple! :)

    Maybe you should have a look at 30 Boxes (http://www.30boxes.com).

    30 boxes cannot consume iCal subscriptions yet, but it is on the upcoming features.
