org-gcal.el VS khal

- 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.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I just tried to setup dumb jump, downloaded khal as example project and tried to use `gd` while I'm with the cursor on a method. It always is asking me for a TAGS file, but I don't have any, I mean this is dumb-jump.

I use https://github.com/pimutils/khal ...maybe it would work with WSL?... for calendar and markdown diary (have a script that pulls calendar items, tasks that are due from taskwarrior, and notes from yesterday's "tomorrow" section into each new day's journal/diary entry) via vimwiki.

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

Apple iCal <-> vdirsyncer <-> khal <-> khalel

If that's a dead end, I'd look into CLI CALDAV clients that you could script around. Maybe something like khal? http://lostpackets.de/khal/

I tend to use khal in combination with vdirsyncer (which can sync a remote Google Calendar to local iCal files, and vice-versa). However I don't think it can handle all the meeting invite stuff you mention.

I like khal, which stores events in a directory of ics files. Not quite what you were asking for as it's not a single text file. The CLI for displaying, adding, and editing events is pretty nice though.

This looks very interesting. As the original author of khal (another terminal calendar) [1] I love some more competition in this space.

I've been using vdirsyncer to keep CalDAV servers in sync. It works with basically everything. Works great with khal but I've always wanted a month or week view so I'm gonna check this out!
