Which calendar app do you use? And if you host a calendar server yourself, which one?


Me:

  • Nextcloud with Calendar extension as server (FOSS)
  • DavX5 to synchronize on Android (FOSS)
  • Simple calendar Pro Calendar from FDroid to interact with it (FOSS)

    I think it’s because they’ve spread themselves too thin. Instead of making 1-2 apps that are really good they have like 4-5 of them, all but one or two of which that are at best acceptable.

    I mean, seriously, I’ve been using ProtonMail for around a decade now, since the Beta period—they still don’t have conversation view. (Correction: I believe they have it on the webview but not on mobile; and correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure the one on webview is a somewhat recent addition.)

      That is correct, it IS a recent addition. The only app that I can consider decent is the VPN one, and that’s even a more recent one…But I guess it’s way simpler usage case. The rest of the apps are rather bad IMHO. About as good as a mobile webpage. Works…as long as you’re connected.

        Yeah, I’d agree about the VPN app too. ProtonVPN is absolutely fantastic…until you get to the Linux app.

        Oh good gods the Linux app. T_T

        “[P]acked with advanced features” my ass! And, yes, they do indeed use that phrase—multiple times—on the product page for the Linux application: No port forwarding, no Secure Core, no profiles (they actually lie about that by showing profiles in an image), no Wireguard support, and oh god it’s actually slower than the Windows counterpart.

        This is about their Linux GUI app, mind you; I can’t speak to their CLI app. Contrary to the popular misconception, not every Linux user likes to use the command line for absolutely everything (though I do love me some terminal shit lol don’t get me wrong).
