org-caldav VS emacs-application-framework

For CalDAV there is org-caldav or khalel. For CardDAV there is khalel. In my experience, though, using these packages is kind of involved and not very satisfying.

- Org-Caldav

PS: I've asked a similar question before and I know of org-caldav, which still requires a CalDAV proxy and org-gcal, which only works for Google.

Yeah, thanks for mentioning this - that was indeed my plan. I’m using org-caldav successfully on one machine, but I’m finding it hard to run across multiple machines. https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/270

org-caldav for calendar sync

I have a few files that are specifically reserved just for calendar/todo syncs. Then I set them up with org-caldav.

Random example of someone dealing with it... :

I use org-caldav with emacs-calfw.

I have Org-Caldav partially working with davmail and Office365. (Yes my employer hates me and I have to use Outlook!) In Thunderbird items I create on the phone appear in Org-Mode. But for Org-Caldav items I create on the phone do not appear. Items created in Emacs Org-Capture in the todo.org file do appear in Outlook (and Thunderbird).

Great! I love this. I have a similar motivation system, but which is graphical by design. Right now I use an external program to manage the UI, but have considered integrating it using Emacs-EAF.

Just discovered this project Emacs Application Framework? Looks pretty interesting. They seem have developed everything from a web browser to a pdf reader. Anyone used it yet? What are your thoughts about it?

Thank you for the reply! This is a bit disheartening. I was hoping that it was possible with something like EAF.

I'm very new to using Emacs. I used it a bit for school but learned nothing about how to modify it etc. Recently I installed Doom Emacs which is very cool, and then I found out about Emacs Application Framework. Unfortunately I have no idea how to install it on Doom because the guide only talks about vanilla emacs. I found a reddit thread about it which also cites a github discussion, but unfortunately I have no idea what they are talking about. I tried to do some stuff without understanding. I am not 100% sure what I did but it didn't really work and I don't even know for sure how to get everything back to where it was before I added anything and start trying again.

There is also this guy with EAF. I have never used it myself, but it seems to expose Qt, which should give you lots of opportunity. I don't know how simple/difficult it is to get it going, and how well it works on macos.
