[Remind-Fans] Multi-user Remind (was Re: Ways to use Remind)

[Storm Dragon]

Howdy,

This might be awesome if done with something like syncthing uses. You
could share your remind key with someone, and they could view
availability, or even scheduled events bassed on permissions. Everything
would be peer to peer, so no need for central servers.

That would certainly be a lot of work. The rewards for such a system
might be pretty neat though.

Thanks,
Storm

Most of you are familiar with the virtues of a programmer. There are three, of course: laziness, impatience, and hubris.
