Hey, I am really excited about this!
A few questions:
- Will this be developed in parallel to #Kontact, are the same devs working on it, is only the UI changing and background things kept the same? Will it replace Kontact some time, swapping out, or getting the name?
- Is #CalDAV support possible currently, in the past or planned? It is a major dealbreaker for me currently.
- Are CalDAV features supported by #DAVx5 planned? Like journals?
- The #Flatpak is kinda bundled in the “Kontact” Flatpak. Will this change?
@boredsquirrel @kde 1. While some devs (like me) works on both Kontact and Merkuro devs, other are only working on one of them. I don’t see Kontact disappearing anytime soon.

CalDAV is definitively supported
-
Journals works in KOrganizer. It’s quite unlikely I will add that to Merkuro mail any time soon as I have no real use for them and I don’t want to makes the UI more complex.
Thanks! And does Merkuro use the same backend things as the older Kontact suite?
And if CalDAV is supported, where is it added? On Fedora Kinoite I have no support, only Nextcloud etc. I woule file a bug at the correct place.
@boredsquirrel Yes Merkuro uses the same backend. And we (Merkuro dev) are contributing to improve it which benefit all the Kontact users.
Thanks! Have a nice day :)
That’s good, I like the classic KDE apps
-
Beautiful! Impressed y’all were able to find such an excellent UI designer to contribute.
Quick question, does Marknote save in normal markdown? In other words could i sync the folder it saves to and edit the notes seamlessly with something like apostrophe or Qownnotes.
Yes
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Great to see KDE giving the PIM some love. I think it’s one of the areas on which KDE has been lacking. Great work!
Impressive, kudos to the @kde@floss.social community for that!
I’m a pretty satisfied Kontact user right now. I appreciate the integration of everything, but the one thing I would really look at improving is the RAM usage of Akonadi server, it eats up quite a lot of RAM for a program/backend meant just to integrate that information. Are there plans to improve that, or will Merkuro improve on that at all?
Merkuro is built on Akonadi, so in that sense there will be no change.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social el calendiario se puede sincronizar con plugins en WordPress. Estamos usando plugins de eventos para poner cada semana la programación de una Televisión.
¿Puedes mostrarnos vuestro proyecto y explicar un poquito cómo lo hacéis?
@Bro666
Ahora estoy en la calle, simplemente tenemos en WordPress un plugin donde pones evento, duració, color en un calendario de lunes-domingo por horas en tipo cuadrantes y en versión móvil muestra la linea temporal desde el ahora y mostrado en cascada. El frontend muy parecido a #SimpleCalendarPro para #android el backend si se diferencia.Ahora este calendario no es publico porque aún estamos definiendo los eventos y horas.
Cuando enchufe el pc mando más.
Wrong place, maybe, but Kontakt refuses to work for me for mail. I added the proton bridge config, but there are no folders in the mail view. The standalone Kmail does work. If anyone has troubleshooting tips. Maybe it’s some flatpack vs native thing, idk.
I apologize. What is the KDE community?
No need to apologise. Take a look:
KDE: Kommunity of Developers and Endusers.
I’ve always heard it stood for k desktop environment
We phased out “KDE” as an acronym years ago.
Itinerary is a terrible name for a terrific app that made traveling way less stressful for me.
