org-gcal.el VS emacs-application-framework

- Org-gcal

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.

As for your question, I use org-gcal, which was working fine for me, but the recent update and switch to oauth-2.0 means I have to re-authenticate about every 48 hrs. Not sure if that's down to me or inherent in the package, but it's worth trying IMO.

There is an opened PR about this. https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/pull/200

I guess this is the currently maintained version https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el

Perhaps you are looking at the old version? This is I believe the current one, I've been using it for some time and it has been working pretty well https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el And not sure which oauth you are meaning, but there are changes coming later this year, which I think are tracked here https://github.com/kidd/org-gcal.el/issues/191

It turns out there is now a bug in org-gcal-fetch (which affects org-gcal-sync) that "forces org files into active window". This leads to a one-line fix that solves the issue (changing switch-to-buffer to set-buffer in org-generic-id.el).

Background: I maintain org-gcal, a package that lets users synchronize Google Calendar events with Org-mode files. One of the features that I have is a way to download the event description as HTML. Right now, I just download the raw HTML and place it in a drawer.

Is there anything to be done at this point? org-gcal still works for me at the moment, but I'm guessing it won't come October. The maintainer's github page (at least that's who I think is the maintainer) doesn't mention this issue at the moment though.

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.
