Show HN: Bloben - Self-hosted web CalDAV calendar client
Hello all, I have been working on a self hosted CalDAV calendar
client Bloben https://github.com/nibdo/bloben-app This is mostly
an alternative to other web clients like great AgenDAV with some
additional features I wanted to use like email invites, alarms,
webcalendars, etc. You can play with demo (limited to read access)
here: https://demo.bloben.com/api/v1/users/login-
demo?username=dem... In the end it should provide separate clients
also for CalDAV tasks and notes. One thing I would maybe like to
discuss more is adding encryption, which is obviously quite
problematic when using standards like CalDAV. Initially I just
added non-compatible fully encrypted calendars, but realised this
might not be useful for many people using different clients.
Something halfway is adding an option to protect only some, say
sensitive, events by encrypting fields like title, description or
location. That way events will still be displayed via standard
mobile apps and decrypted only in Bloben client (with link to open
from description). As part of this project I published also React
calendar component https://github.com/nibdo/kalend Thank you, if
you are interested and feel free to ask me anything.
