Best calendar solution? (piefed.social)

So I’ve tried Proton Mail and it’s… not a great user experience. I’m looking for a good calendar specially that works on Mac, Windows, Linux, and iOS. I want to be able to manage my work calendar through it (which is a Google account) and then a personal calendar which is hosted by this new service.

Privacy is important but I’m just trying to avoid major companies like Google. I’ve been trying out Fastmail so far and I think is pretty good and while not as secure as Proton it’s got the usability I’m looking for.

Just wondering if anyone else out there has a recommendo for me before I cancel my proton subscription and commit to Fastmail?

Hello there,

We used to communicate on GitHub some time ago. ;)

I haven't checked back on Luna recently due to its early development stage and ongoing improvements. I understand you're quite busy, so I was waiting for any official announcements from your side.

How is the development progressing?

In the meantime, I’ve been using Fluid Calendar, but I find it less satisfying, and the development experience isn't as polished as with Luna. I’m a heavy calendar user and truly hope to be able to rely on Luna for daily use in the future.

I also know that many in the self-hosting community are looking forward to a reliable solution.

Hey, you're right to think I'm pretty busy, heh. The progress has been a little slow the past few months.

The development is at a state where I can comfortably use the calendar for my purposes. I need to polish off some annoying bugs and make the UI usable on mobile phones, before I can make an official release.

I hope the long wait time ends up being worth it. It is a bit of a passion project and my perfectionism might show. Thanks for your early support of the project, btw, it was very heartwarming to see genuine interest.

P.S.: May I ask, what features do you personally find absolutely indispensable to add before you may consider using Luna as your primary calendar app? I.e., what is still missing that other alternatives do offer?

I'll follow up on our discussion on github here : https://github.com/Opisek/luna/discussions/8 :)

I’ll need to set up a new instance and run some tests as soon as possible. I’ll make sure to provide a detailed update afterward :)
