30 Boxes was developed in 2006 and at the time it was probably pretty "state of the art". Today, there are not only numerous alternatives, but the free web app is obviously no longer being developed or supported. The software still works in principle, but there is no longer an informative website. And where there used to be a company blog or an API interface, you now only get an error message.
One reason for the popularity of 30 Boxes was integrations such as in Outlook or as a plug-in for Firefox. 30 Boxes also crops up in this context from time to time, for example if you try to subscribe to a calendar from a web software called up in Firefox, such as our CRM system , 30 Boxes is sometimes suggested, at least under Windows. However, this does not work because 30 Boxes no longer knows what to do with new web calendars.
30 Boxes was developed in brazil telegram screening 2006 by 83degrees and its chief developer Narendra Rocherolle . He was part of the tech environment of the Twitter founders (allegedly he came up with the idea of the retweet) and is the founder of various software companies, which are now only active to a limited extent.
In addition to the large standard calendars such as Outlook.com, Apple iCal or Google Calendar, there are now countless alternatives online. Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox browser, now uses the Lightning calendar integrated into Thunderbird . There are also stand-alone solutions such as Sunrise (Microsoft), aCalender or Business Calendar . However, not all of them are free and are primarily designed for use on mobile phones, rather than as group calendars or for making appointments publicly visible. This would be useful, for example, if a theater or sports club wanted to give viewers a simple overview of appointments that they could subscribe to in their calendars.
Central Station CRM also has a simple calendar integrated that can be used as a group calendar and shared with external parties without write permissions. There is no mobile use for this yet, so the appointments would have to be subscribed to the mobile phone calendar. Central Station CRM is permanently free for up to 3 users and for contact management of up to 200 contacts.
