Obvious FR: remote calendar integration #6

Open luispabon opened 5 years ago

luispabon commented 5 years ago

Stuff is looking gigantic so far. It would be great to get the calendar to display events on my remote calendars (eg google), perhaps via gnome online accounts?

Two things:

  1. "Stuff is looking gigantic so far".

Are you saying it's too big (a separate issue), or am I just getting too old to understand slang?

  1. Calendar integration:

It has always been on the drawing board, but while the idea may be obvious, it's far from a simple feature.

If I cook something up, I'd have to do it in a smart way to not require wldash to contain massive amounts of code to deal with various calendar providers and their APIs, which would also likely require wldash to daemonize in order to absorb the massive increase in startup latency.

As in great ;)

Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to be a 2 liner tbf. This is why i suggested perhaps gnome online accounts integration as the heavy lifting of calendar providers afaik is done in there.

GNOME online accounts may handle it, but I'd expect 90% of the users of wldash to not have GNOME online accounts available to them (myself included at least on most of my systems).

It would likely need to be at least a bit more flexible than that.
