Facebook app to sync birthdays and events with Google calendar using Google app engine

About

CalenDerp is a Facebook app that lets you put all your birthdays and events into Google Calendar. I wrote the application out of frustration when none of the existing apps I tried worked.

It's a work in progress, there are a lot of things I want to change but it's starting to get there.

It works using a combination of Google's appengine, Google Calendar API, Facebook's Graph API and Python. Once you are authed with both Facebook and Google, CalenDerp queues up all the work in the task queue and syncs your calendars. Once every 30 mins the calendars are refreshed using a cronjob.

Anyway give it a try: http://apps.facebook.com/calenderp/

Todo

  • Add translations for more languages.
  • Work on the test suite, so far we have a few tests but not many.
  • Work on optimizing things, we're starting to use a lot of our quotas.
  • Update all of the function's documentation strings, as I've refactored the code the documentation strings have started to get a bit out of sync with the actual code.
  • Figure out how to get locale for user before they have installed the Facebook application, that will let us display install.html in their native language.
  • Re-design the user interface.
