Is it possible to build a Time Scheduler like dhtmlxScheduler?

Issue

I am looking to build a Scheduler on Appsmith that looks and behaves like dhtmlxScheduler. I'm wondering if this is possible and if anyone has experience with it.

Resolution

To build a scheduler on Appsmith, you can use the Date picker widget to select a start and end time for events. You will also need to set up a data storage system, such as a database, to store the events and their corresponding times.

To constantly check for events whose start time is close to the current time, you can create a query that runs in the background at regular intervals. When a matching event is found, you can send reminders to the users in some way.

While replicating the exact appearance and behaviour of dhtmlxScheduler might not be possible, Appsmith's variety of widgets should be able to provide a suitable solution.
