Thanks for looking into this too, everybody! Cal.com's CalDav module with Nextcloud calendar might work well instead.

If anybody loves Nextcloud calendar, please let us know. There don't seem to be any "nesting calendars" or grouping calendars options in Nextcloud.

It works great with Nextcloud Calendar - I've been using the hosted cal.com with my self hosted on Cloudron Nextcloud Calendar for ages now

Could you elaborate on what you're talking about? I'm not sure I follow

Thanks for asking. Lets say you are a World Wide Corporation, WWC. So you have a WWC calendar, and then feeding into that would be Regional Calendars, eg US, Europe, Asia. These would be calendars run by the Regions and which would inform the WWC. By looking at the WWC, the US Region could see when the European Region is having is annual conference and, eg. avoid a scheduling clash. The Regional calendars would in turn be fed by Country calendars (USA, Canada; UK, Germany; Japan, Korea).

Nesting the calendars might help them e.g. federate (there is a federation tool in Nextcloud, I think). It might also help with redundancy, eg. everybody could be running an instance of the WWC.

Grouping calendars might help e.g. putting all the European country calendars together into a folder or something like that.

Maybe there is a better way to do this with Nextcloud's tagging system or groups functionality...

Skiff has been acquired by Notion:

• https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/09/notion-acquires-privacy-focused-productivity-platform-skiff/
• https://skiff.com/data-migration

As we begin to shift focus to our shared efforts with Notion, we will be closing down Skiff's product suite after a 6-month sunset period We are deeply appreciative of the trust users have extended to us, and we are committed to honoring that trust by ensuring that all data on Skiff is easily exportable. For the next 6 months, Skiff services will continue to operate without disruption, and users can freely duplicate, migrate, or export data. You can now also set up a forwarding address to redirect mail to any other provider.

Services are being shutdown.

@necrevistonnezr Looks like they're gunning to be a full Google Workplace / Microsoft 365 / Zoho alt.

This would be beyond amazing to have.

[jdaviescoates]

@mario it's being shut down and absorbed into (non open source non self hostable) Notion.

But the code is still there

@mario Be interesting to see if the community can pick it up and maintain or fork.
