The core loop is buildable, but a dependable replacement becomes a real weekend or multi-day project. For Zencal, publish booking pages and collect optional payments through a simple workflow. The hard boundary is calendar connections, payments, reminders, team access, and hosted reliability, plus calendar integrations and reliability.

Build a monetization-focused scheduling platform as a personal replacement for Zencal. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 (App Router) + TypeScript + PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM + TailwindCSS + Stripe (mocked or real). Primary job: Build a scheduling tool specialized for freelancers and coaches to publish booking pages, collect optional payments, and manage availability. Core Features & Requirements: 1. Paid Meetings & Monetization: - Implement a booking flow that allows the host to attach a price to specific meeting types. - Integrate a payment step (using Stripe Checkout or a simulated mock payment gateway) before finalizing the booking. - Support configurations for one-off payments and "free for free" meetings. 2. Branded Booking Pages: - Create customizable profile pages that act as a standalone landing page for the host. - Include sections for a brand logo, custom accent colors, service descriptions, pricing tiers, and client reviews (testimonials). - Ensure the layout is highly professional and conversion-optimized. 3. Availability & Calendar Sync: - Read one calendar, publish availability, create conflict-safe bookings, and send confirmations. - Implement configurable working hours, buffer times between meetings, minimum notice periods, and booking horizons. - Calculate availability in UTC and render it correctly in the visitor's detected timezone. 4. Technical & Architecture Constraints: - Make the first run work locally with one documented command (e.g., Docker compose for Postgres). - Store all user data locally by default and make export straightforward. - Put secrets in .env, ship .env.example, and never commit credentials. - Add an admin booking list, event-type editor, audit log, and calendar reconnect flow. - Include clear empty, loading, success, and recoverable error states. 5. Exclusions & Limitations: - Do not add accounts, billing for the SaaS itself, telemetry, analytics, or a hosted control plane. - Deliberately leave out Microsoft/Apple calendar support and complex team round-robin routing. - Do not fake compliance or security claims. - Handle unavailable APIs (like the payment gateway) gracefully. 6. Testing & Documentation: - Write focused unit tests for timezone calculations and pricing logic. - Add one end-to-end happy path test for a paid booking. - Create a README with setup, architecture, permissions, data location, and backup steps. - Finish by running the tests and listing the exact commands used.
