[app request] Calendar app
asked 2015-09-20 21:55:30 +0200
Since I gave up hope that all those improvement suggestions and bug reports from the community concerning the native Jolla calendar app will ever be released / fixed, I want to ask those developers out there if someone is interested in creating a new calendar app that is usefull and that one can work with. I think a lot of us will apreeciate it a lot!
I gave the Jolla-app another try this week after installing an owncloud server on a RPi and ran in all the bugs and issues mentioned months and years ago (Time-Shift of events, whole-day-events shortened one day, sync errors, not mentioned the really bad calendar layout, totally useless for someone who is using the calendar as a event / scedule planner ...). These are problems on the Jolla-side, cause my wife's Android phone just synced and worked as supposed to be.
Unfortunately I'm not a developer, but I'm really ashamed of my beloved Jolla because of this crappy calendar app.
Thanks
P.S.: I forgot to mention that I'm not using 2.0 yet, and of course that I'm willing to support the willing developers with ideas as good as I can.
I think that the layout of the UI is ok and usable but not great. But I do agree, the broken ownCloud Calendar, totally cripples the Calendar app. Reducing its useability to the same level as the calendar app of my late Sony Erricsson k300i, from a decade ago - heartbreaking.

The "calendar appliaction" is just a frontend to the calendar database (which is located in .local/share/system/privileged/Calendar/mkcal/db). It is a way to present the appointments to user in a sensible manner.
The synchronization methods to connect to whatever other calendar systems are just a way to exchange VCAL entries, it is totally separate function from the calendar presentation UI.
So which one you want to change/update?
juiceme ( 2015-11-04 09:16:45 +0200 )editI would because I find calendar having a lot of shortages as well. But I lack time to develop it. It has to be built from the ground up because Jolla's calendar app isn't open source.
This message is more meant as a pat on the shoulder that you're not the only one.

All the calendar events are in the database, just pull off the soon-to-happen entries and show those. For little extra effort you can show them in the events view.
