Other storage (Evernote, etc.) services will be supported in the next version.
Also, users will be able to import calendar tasks/events data from any webpage.
This looks neat...but there's no self-hosted option (or doesn't seem to be?). I'm going to suspect that many users who are interested in using a plain-text calendar/todo system like this would prefer hosting the result themselves rather than piping it through a cloud service.
That said, I really like this model for constructing calendars from easy text files. It would make it a lot easier to create shared calendars from a bunch of engineers that all use different calendaring clients, especially if this could make a read-only ICS available for import into a client. I could imagine creating a text calendar file in a git repository and managing additions using pull requests, for instance...
Thank you for your feedbacks. For the local hosting, it currently stores calendar data in the browser (localStorage), and sync back (for private calendars) when you're online & logged in. Right now, users can save data to Dropbox (app folder). I plan to create a cross-platform desktop app (using Electron) so user can save to files also.
That's a great idea about git! I also thought about it. Importing feature is being developed. In the next few days, users will be able to import from a public webpage (Github, Google Sites, etc.) & publish the read-only calendar to other users. If you could become a beta user for this feature, I'd really appreciate that. Please file a ticket at - https://github.com/TextCalHQ/Support

Chrome latest, OSX, Timezone +8 if that's the issue.
