Why I built ComingUp Today
ComingUp Today started as a practical solution for my own household: a single shared view of what's coming up for multiple people, across multiple calendars — without the constant "what's on your schedule?" back-and-forth.
The core problem it's meant to solve is miscommunication — the "I didn't know you had something then" moment that leads to last-minute scrambling.
Built for busy households (and small groups)
I have three kids, and our family schedule is busy and non-traditional. We needed an easy way for my wife and me — and eventually the whole family — to see the day, week, and month at a glance: school activities, appointments, reminders, and the other "life stuff" that adds up quickly.
ComingUp Today is designed to help households and small groups coordinate around real life — not just one person's calendar.
A shared screen in the kitchen
One of the core ideas behind ComingUp Today is a shared display: a screen mounted in a central place that everyone can glance at.
It works well on any computer, tablet, or phone, making the same shared schedule available at home and on the go — without requiring everyone to manage or edit the same calendar.
Built by an experienced engineer
ComingUp Today is built by FE-Engineer, a software engineer with over 13 years of experience working on large-scale products and complex applications.
My background is primarily frontend, but I work full-stack and have helped build and launch high-traffic sites and production systems — including as a founding engineer at a startup. ComingUp Today is a founder-led, independent product shaped by daily real-world use.
If you're interested in the technical side of how it's built, you can find more work and writing at https://fe-engineer.com and on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@FE-Engineer.
Privacy-first and read-only by design
ComingUp Today is intentionally designed to be calm and trustworthy:
- Read-only: we display calendars you authorize, but never modify your source calendars
- Visibility controls: choose which calendars and people are visible inside each group
- Disconnect anytime: revoke access instantly from the Integrations page
Details are available in the Privacy Policy and Security pages.
