The visible appointment scheduling loop is buildable, but a credible replacement needs more than the first screen. Zoho Bookings earns its keep through OAuth, calendar reliability, so expect a weekend or multi-day build and a narrower personal scope.

Build a robust, resource-aware appointment scheduling tool as a personal substitute for Zoho Bookings. Use exactly this stack: Next.js 15 (App Router) + TypeScript + SQLite + TailwindCSS + shadcn/ui. Primary job: Build an appointment scheduling tool that not only handles personal time but also manages physical resources (rooms, equipment) and multi-department categorization. Core Features & Requirements: 1. Resource & Workspace Management: - Expand the standard scheduling model to require a "Resource" (e.g., Meeting Room A, Projector) in addition to time availability. - Implement a conflict-checking system that ensures both the host's time AND the required physical resource are available before confirming a booking. - Allow grouping meeting types into "Workspaces" or "Departments" (e.g., Sales, Support) for a clean, categorized public booking page. 2. Customizable Booking & Workflows: - Create branded booking pages with customizable logos, colors, and backgrounds. - Provide a smooth self-scheduling experience for customers with automatic timezone conversion. - Build a unified admin dashboard to view upcoming appointments, manage resources, and manually schedule or cancel bookings. 3. Calendar Integration: - Read availability from a single primary calendar and write confirmed events back. - Allow setting custom work hours, buffer times, and specific availability windows per event type. 4. Technical & Architecture Constraints: - Start from an empty folder and create the complete working project. - Make the default mode single-user (one host, multiple resources). - Store user data locally via SQLite. - Put every secret and external credential in .env and provide .env.example. - Implement a polished interface with accessible keyboard navigation, clear error states, and responsive design. 5. Exclusions & Limitations: - Deliberately exclude Zoho's paid enterprise features: large team round-robin, deep CRM integrations, complex payment gateways, and advanced automated SMS workflows. - Do not add analytics, telemetry, or third-party tracking. - Do not fake proprietary AI setup tools or integrations. 6. Testing & Documentation: - Write focused unit tests for the dual-conflict resolution logic (host time + resource availability). - Add one end-to-end smoke test that proves a resource-constrained booking works. - Create a README with setup instructions, architecture overview, and local run commands. - Run the tests and build before finishing, fixing any errors along the way.
