  1. Are there any decent replacements for Outlook/Google calendar apps?

    I want an Android (well, e/OS) calendar app that does what Outlook does minus the e-mail client – i.e. one that allows me to handle (not just subscribe to) both my work Exchange calendars and private Google calendars and to show upcoming calendar events in a widget on the home screen.

    I tested Proton Calendar – falls short of the above.

  3. @robhawkes Apple's reminders, although using @flexibits for the much better user interface. Kinda half-arsedly looking for an alternative back-end that I can still use via Fantastical, but Apple's implementation is, so I understand, a somewhat bastardised version of so not sure if that's even possible.

  5. The original Legend of Zelda just turned 40! With other birthdays on the horizon (Twilight Princess's 20th is soon), I wanted a calendar that showed the anniversary of every Zelda game. So I made one.

  7. Maybe AI can put us out of this misery? Humanity on its own seems incapable of solving cross-calendar data format compatibility

  9. I am looking for a script to merge two ics files.

    Given two ics files I need a new one that contains a semantically 'Ok' merge.

    e.g. I don't care about fields like PRODID, just choose one.
    Did it ACKNOWLEDGED changed? -> Use the data from the newer one ... and so on.

    It gladly may ask user feedback if it is not trivial to merge.

  10. Я не понимаю, почему музеи и выставки убрали #iCal функционал с сайтов
    На сайте питерского Манежа он присутствует в виде закомментированного атавизма, например. При попытке открыть ссылку напрямую, делает большие глаза и орёт «Мущщина, вы как сюда зашли? Вам нельзя!», капая слюной

  11. Двунадесятые праздники в формате iCal 1919-2100 по юлианскому календарю
    Как их празднует Иерусалимская, Русская, Сербская, Грузинская, Польская, Старообрядческая и Российская грекокатолическая церкви
    Пока сами праздники только, в переложении на наш, гражданский (григорианский/новоюлианский) календарь
    Современный компьютер посчитает и оформит в нужный вид менее, чем за секунду, то, на что бы раньше ушли недели подсчётов

    UPD: а теперь совсем хорошо: добавил старый стиль (да, #Рождество у православных тоже 25 декабря), год от Сотворения Мира и всё на старославянском. Числа кириллицей писать не буду, пожалею покамест вас, грешных

  15. Two small developments to wrap up the year:

    The #iCal feeds have been updated to be private and to give you a way to display your personal calendar in #Thunderbird, #Android, etc. You can choose to retrieve the events you manage, those from your community, or those you’ve indicated you plan to attend. A simple way to keep your cultural agenda close at hand.

    Actors are now referenced with @ to shorten URLs, for example vousrevoir.org/en/@simon

  16. Deux petit développements pour finir l'année:

    - Les #ical ont été revus pour être privés et vous offrir un moyen d’afficher votre calendrier personnel dans #thunderbird #android etc. Vous pouvez récupérer, au choix, vos événements gérés, ceux de votre communauté suivie, ou ceux auxquels vous avez indiqué votre souhait de présence. Un moyen de garder votre agenda culturel à portée de main.

    - Les acteurs sont référencés avec @ pour raccourcir les URLs ex vousrevoir.org/@simon

  18. Ich suche seit gefühlten Stunden nach einem #iCal-Export von Vorträgen im #fahrplan des #39c3. Warum ist das weder im Hub noch im Fahrplan selbst direkt drin? Und nein ich möchte nicht die Fahrplanapp dafür verwenden. #followerpower

  19. I'm looking for some nerdy/niche assistance. I want to start printing my own weekly agendas based on the current state of my online calendar. Sure it will change, but I would love to be able to sit down on a Sunday evening and review with paper & pencil to settle into the coming work week.

    Ideally something that is a modifiable script that I can output to text format, or template into a file with jinga2 or something similar.

  21. Fût un temps, j'avais trouvé un moyen d'importer les dates d'actualisation France Travaille dans mon agenda, mais je le retrouve plus. Quelqu'un a ça sous la main ?

  23. Now whose genius idea was it to limit calendar event colors to precisely the named colors of CSS in RFC7986, which were never intended as a sole palette because CSS also supports hex colors? 🤯

    (Explicitly *not* blaming the author here; this probably comes from legacy systems and was reviewed by any number of people that could have caught it.)

  24. Aujourd'hui, je mets de nouveau en avant la solution #Gancio, qui est un calendrier partagé pour les communautés 👍
    La fédération avec #ActivityPub est de la partie, #RSS, #ICAL, etc.
    👉 Site officiel : gancio.org
    👉 Chez Blabla Linux : gancio.blablalinux.be

  25. So, after spending the better part of the day working on this, I now have an #iCal file that contains _one_ event for Easter, which is using an RDATE property to list all of the Easter dates in about 200 years (because it's an irregular event and normal repeat rules won't work).

    Thunderbird accepts this (even if it says "repeat details unknown"), #khal on the command line does, too.

    @mailbox_org's #OpenXchange web UI doesn't display them. 😩

  26. "remind¹ syntax is way too complicated!"

    lol, have you _read_ the iCalendar RFC?

  27. Habt ihr ne schöne Quelle für Ferien-/Feiertags-Kalender(feeds) im iCal-Format? Ich hätte gern

    • alle bundesweiten und regionalen Feiertage für Deutschland, inklusive der Info (im Beschreibungstext), in welchen Bundesländer der Tag gesetzlicher Feiertag ist (ein Feed mit allem)
    • Schulferien für einzelne Bundesländer (ein Feed pro Bundesland)

    Einmalige Downloads sind okay, Feed-URLs wären fast besser.

  28. It's 2025.

    Why can't we add simple, remote ical feeds to our Android phones without weird Apps? Is it technically not possible? Is there no need?

  29. As we consider ways to implement #ActivityPub into our FOSS Community Calendar Ecosystem platform Koalagator, I've been looking over the differing specs for how to specify the event object schema.

    Have any other folk wrestled with this?Asking before I get arms deep in this stuff.

    For those playing at home...

    ---
    Schema.org - Event

    Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet.

    schema.org/Event

    -----
    W3C Activity Vocabulary - Event

    This specification describes the Activity vocabulary. It is intended to be used in the context of the ActivityStreams 2.0 format and provides a foundational vocabulary for activity structures, and specific activity types.

    ----

    Fediverse Enhancement Proposal
    FEP-8a8e: A common approach to using the Event object type

    ActivityStreams defines the Object Type Event. In real-world applications, the event object immediately showed the need for extension. Applications featuring Event objects have often chosen to add additional attributes and clarifications (i.e., interpretations) in order to implement their particular use case. This proposal clarifies and extends the ActivityPub standard to address the needs that have arisen in real-world implementations.

    [HTML] Microformats - h-event

    People are using microformats to mark up profiles, posts, events and other data on their personal sites, enabling developers to build applications which use this data in useful and interesting ways.

    iCalendar Standard (RFC 5545)

    iCalendar was first defined as a standard as RFC 2445 in 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, iCalendar is used to import and synchronize events on various platforms, including smart phones, computer and web applications.

  30. thanks so much for boosting this post everyone! Its already led to someone commenting on the discussions and letting me know about a project that may help!

    The FediRails project that helps add ActivityPub to Rails codebases.
