I’m still on my little adventure of pulling my crap off the cloud and realized my calendar is still blowing around out there. What do people use for their personal calendars nowadays?

    I use Nextcloud. Of course that only makes sense when you use the other Nextcloud stuff as well.

    Private I use Nextcloud + Betterbird (Thunderbird Softfork (stays compatible with the matching esr version)) + DAVx5 for Android.

    At work we use an old web calendar in php5, as this is the only calendar we found that has a side by side view. Each coworker has his own calendar and in the 4 week view, each is displayed side by side. We didn’t found any replacement with that kind of view. Also we use the categories very strict. Each entry need a category, the admin defines the categories and it shows icons for it. Nextcloud even introduced categories a few years ago and still doesn’t have the option to define ones and delete default ones. You can add own categories on the fly, but this is so bad in design, as everyone needs discipline, which doesn’t happen.

    We use Nextcloud. (It’s honestly about the only thing we use Nextcloud for.) For adding events and checking stuff we just use the web UI; it’s also synced to Kalendar/Merkuro Calendar on our desktop and we get calendar notifications that way.

        I have a small cron job that cuts the line for the day before into yesterday.txt, so today is always at the top of the file. I don’t need notifications.

    I have a paper calendar on my wall. It’s really nice because I find writing things down helps me remember, and also because you can get ones with different pictures or jokes or facts or recipes on the other side, so you get a new set each month.

    Also if you follow two calendar systems it’s particularly nice because they can both be on the same calendar. (For example mine is a combined hebrew gregorian calendar, which is much nicer than just having the computer tell me when holidays are)

    I’ve been playing with calcurse and calcure, both TUI calendars because I can’t keep something like Thunderbird open on my cruddy low RAM laptop. There are some sync methods but they’re pretty janky. I’m tempted to just set up a plaintext file with appointments and have a script scan for the upcoming 24 hours for notifications or something
