    I’ve been working on a journaling app for a couple months that uses CalDAV for syncing. I found out there’s a underutilized part of the VCALENDAR component for journaling and couldn’t find a good journaling app with sync that supported it. Got as far as a compotent TUI app, snyc, journal management, wrote a text editor. I am not a developer, btw, I’m a datacenter engineer. I’ve been working on edge-cases and dragging my feet on moving on to a GUI. But this honestly sounds so much better. And if there will be mobile apps, this is definitely going in my stack.

      That sounds like a fun project. I did initially do some research in VJOURNAL but found it rather limiting for all the stuff I want to build in Journiv. I wrote a blogpost about it earlier: https://www.journiv.com/blog/why-journiv-doesnt-use-caldav The application is cross platform so it work as PWA and you can use it as mobile devices as PWA without any issues. Many Journiv users are already doing so. Native mobile apps are ready and will be coming soon once the project becomes sustainable to cover the development cost and expenses around it: https://github.com/orgs/journiv/discussions/184#discussioncomment-15180557

        Thank you for the reply. I really enjoyed reading all of the blog posts you have on the site. I really enjoy what you’re doing with the project and look forward to becoming a contributing patron soon. I’m genuinely surprised at the polish and well thought out development with so very little support given so far. I had a question regarding performance in Trivalent, but didn’t know if I should field that here or in github or possibly somewhere else. If you can let me know, I’d really appreciate it.
