I successfully made my own server for @delta! Woo hoo! Only using 215Mb RAM on a VPS so far. #DeltaChat #WhatsApp #Signal
@mcg Yeah, me learning how to do it is what I was excited about. :)
@adam @mcg speaking of CalDav -- you could play with sending an "xdc" app to a chat that you can download here merlinux.eu/apps/calendar.xdc -- it uses https://webxdc.org tech which Delta Chat implements so you can have a shared calendar in any chat. (it's only a rudimentary app and it's safe to run it)
@delta
This calendar is one of the things I missed. Looks great and works for me so far quite well. Great.
Is there a reason not to have it on https://webxdc.org?
@devSJR it's not well tested and a bit simplistic but you are probably right that we could put it up.
@delta
Yes, it is simple but works. But keep in mind that you and the others do this in their spare time. Thanks!
@delta
BTW, I regularly look at the webxdc git commits. They give me the impression that the development is a bit stalled a hughe burst spring/summer last year. Is it just an impression?
@devSJR do you mean the webxdc org? Seen from delta chat it's still a "side development" as we are trying to harden and improve the base messenger experience .... But there are some upcoming webxdc things as well (not neccesarrily in the org though)
@delta
No, I mean on GitHub. But I can understand that. I have seen that there is a strong overlap between webxdc devs and DeltaChat devs. It is just more work. Keep up the good work.
@delta
BTW, I think it is good that you currently focus on bug fixing. The latest release addressed issues that others reported to me.
@delta
One theoretical question (not asking for a feature).
Could the calendar app have a reminder functionality? Or put differently. Can webxdc app run in the background to do some task (not opening/manual interaction of the app needed by a user)? I guess not.
@devSJR indeed, webxdc apps can not run in the background currently. It's not clear whether/how it could be made to work at least on some platforms. Requires experimentation.
@delta Ah, thanks. Interesting. I did not assume that this is platform dependent but something that is handled via `core`. I can imagine that this would/will add another level of complexity.
@devSJR it's about having a reliable way to run a webview in background .... for example on android ionic (which heavily uses webviews) provides https://ionicframework.com/docs/v3/native/background-mode/ but there are issues with recent android versions.
@adam @delta Ah ok. Wondered if I had missed something new.
