...and my google-fu is failing: I find lots of stuff, like monday.com, etc., for businesses, but I want something simpler, preferably free / low cost, that is more local community oriented.
Any suggestions?

I use Google calendar, and it has facilities for event sharing AFAIK.
|
|

|

True, I use it too(we have a google account connected to our school account)
That is one of the few things Google has not failed with surprisingly...

Wow, these all so complicated. I just want a website that brings up a calendar, lets you change the month, add and event at a particular date/time and, if it's your event remove it. Minimal login to allow you to delete/update your own events, and an admin login to manage events because even in this day and age some people don't use computers. 
How hard can it be to make something simple? Do I have to write this myself?

I feel another quality article coming about a brand new low-code calendar framework

Just thinking evil thoughts: just use WordPress!!! Simply change the date of the post to reflect the date of the event and let WP sort them automatically! I haven't tested it, but I don't think WP gives a crap about things being future dated.

WordPress will allow any date be entered as a post date. On my winemaking site I have notes going back to 1981 -- I set the post date to the date a batch started, and as you said, WordPress sorts the posts sequentially.

I'm a bit surprised that it's so hard to find, Marc. Back when I was attempting to figure out C++ with MFC, I was looking for the same thing and never located it. I tried writing my own, but that was a complete disaster. I wonder if there's something in the Wordpress Plug-in world that will do the job?

I'll third Google Calendar: I use it because it spreads across all my devices (so I can add a dentist appointment on my phone as I leave and know it'll turn up on my desktop.
And it has group facilities as I found out when a pair of reminders I added yesterday started going off on Herself's tablet by mistake ...

Has anyone created a "neighborhood" on NextDoor[^] for your neighborhood? They have event scheduling, and its free.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I helped my wife setup yahoo groups fifteen years ago for a Brownie troop. It was rudimentary, but just enough to get the job done.

Google calendar - the bin collection service use it in Cambridge so that I know which bin to put out each week(no predictable pattern so the calendar is generally necessary).

Have you seen teamup.com?
Works great for my use case, and it's free, but that depends on the number of users/features.
Login on the free tier is by personal link (no password), so that's certainly easy, if perhaps not very safe.
This is not a signature.

I use teamup.com for coaches to schedule practice time at various baseball fields. I plug in reoccurring appointments for our scheduled games and they can create their own calendar events around those, and each other’s practices. I have a different page for each age group and within that I have a calendar for each field. As long as you don't need more than 8 calendars on your calendar page, it works great.

From a end user standpoint https://calendly.com/[^] was really good.
We used it successfully last year with a bunch of very non-technical people and it just worked. We used it set up a bunch of one-on-ones so it wasn't the typical situation.
A few years ago I saw someone try and set their one-on-ones with google forms and the data was so corrupted by the end they had to cancel everything and set things up manually over the phone.

I've been using Google Calendar for a little over 10 years. So far, soo good. One neat feature is its ability to link, via an ICS file, to the various sports organizations that my kids belong to. When they update a team practice/game, our family calendar is automatically updated.

I will be out for an hour or so and will hold off with the solution until I return.

Of course, the first one I try to solve is just weird for me 
I have to use my brain because I am in Scholar's Bowl which is similar to Jeopardy in teams except it is a school function and looks good on your college resume.
