Hi everybody, I wrote this piece and it might seem a little half-baked, but I'll never get it going if I don't throw it out there.

Let me know what you think, thanks and selfhosting ftw.

I also love the "files over app" approach, I am doing it more and more for simple stuff like (habit-) tracking. With the tempo that applications become outdated or even obsolete, I think this is something very powerful.

I think your radicale/caldav approach is interesting. Would you then also run radicale on your phone? Or simply not have the calendar on your phone? Would syncthing only sync in your home network too?

the phone part would the tricky bit. i think it should be doable using Termux on Android to run it. Termux has a "boot" plugin that should start Radicale every time the phone is turned on, but whether it will run reliably is another question.

Syncthing runs a discovery server that helps nodes/devices find each other when you are away from your home network, so it should still sync in most cases. on some routers, if it cant get around the NAT then files will be synced using Syncthing's relay server, but you have the option to turn both of those off if you want either
