I’m creating a desktop tasks app for all OSes using tauri, angular, and an express backend. Currently I am able to log into a server and receive calendar data back - but I was wondering if there are any other dev who would be interested in contributing? I haven’t uploaded my code to git yet but I p…

Just a general content from my side: keep in mind that there is already a task app present. So, you should ask yourself: what makes your app different from the app present. If you are focusing on the frontend part, that is fine. But then an integration with existing solutions might be the way to go…

task SO? I’m unaware of any way to get tasks besides calDAV?

Sorry, that was a typo. I meant app. If there is another interface, i do not know for now. I would have to check. Is there no WebDAV Javascript library available so that WebDAV is in general not possible?

oh - what is the current desktop app? I haven’t been able to find one and yes, I’m using the ts-dav npm package to get data back to avoid having to parse the xml from the server into json

I was not taking off a desktop app but the tasks app of nextcloud.

oooohhh okay, I see, I was aware of that - I just don’t like using the web interface for managing tasks, or doing anything really. I want a nicer looking UI and an application that I can let live in my tray area when not in use, and even add some features on top of nextcloud tasks implementation l…

Ok, now back to the original question. Should the Javascript tool you want to develop be a nextcloud app? Or should it be completely external? What would you need from a fellow developer? I mean there is a general solution already available (web frontend). So, you will need to provide some details …

it’s meant to be completely external and runs in a native window for whatever DE the user is running, and provide a nicer interface for task management for users who wish to work with their tasks outside the browser

I would be interested as a user in such an app. If you have specific questions about your code it will be easier for fellow developers to help you :slight_smile: but of course just publishing the code for feedback would also work.

awesome to hear! And I don’t so much have questions about HOW to do it as much as I’d just like help with all the work, if anyone is interested of course. Honestly I got distracted last night fixing depreciated neovim plugins when I started my editor and never actually uploaded the code to git lmao…
