  • The author seems dead set on a tauri calendar implementation. I came across what is apparently a scheduling toolkit in rust:

    https://github.com/fmeringdal/nettu-scheduler

    Which I guess could be used to build a desktop calendar app. One flaw in the ointment is that a calendar program really needs email integration. Downloading an ICS file and manually transferring that over to your calendar app isn’t going to cut it.

    Which brings us to the lack of solid calendar servers. I’ve searched but I haven’t found anything popular, OSS, easy to install, and useful for groups. Radicale exists but multi user support is a janky hack, while Nextcloud has unreliable sync. I’m looking for features like:

    • reliable calendar sync
    • sharable calendars.
    • scheduling help - when to have a meeting?
    • how many attendees for a group event, how many invited etc.












  • You can’t run the linux I use (nixos) without the command line.

    The mobile linuxes are way more GUI oriented. Android is first on that list. But also the various other linuxes that target phones, with UIs like phosh. On those I’d say you can mostly never touch a terminal.

    But I don’t think you’ll ever be able to do ALL the things without touching the command line though. There’s a lot of software that’s intended to run in a no-GUI situation, like a headless server or embedded. Sometimes a GUI interface will be provided, but I doubt that kind of thing will ever be GUI-first.
