Why Journiv Doesn't Use CalDAV (And Why That Makes It More Open) (lemmy.world)

Hello all!

Thanks for all the interest and support you have shown for Journiv so far. If you don't already know about Journiv:

Journiv is a self-hosted private journaling application that puts you in complete control of your personal reflections. Built with privacy and simplicity at its core, Journiv offers comprehensive journaling capabilities including mood tracking, prompt-based journaling, media uploads, analytics, and advanced search. All while keeping your data on your own infrastructure.

CalDAV and VJOURNAL are pretty popular in self hosted world and it has been asked few times why Journiv does not use VJOURNAL. So I wrote a blogpost about it to share my research and learning from initial days of Journiv.

If you find anything technically incorrect or have any feedback/suggestion around this I will love to hear it! I think there are lot of experts/users of CalDAV and VJOURNAL here from whom I can learn more.

Thank you.

In CalDAV specification journal is supported by VJOURNAL which is not specifically CALDAV.

My understanding so far is that no one specifically uses VJOURNAL due to lack of its adoption and features but have a feeling it is a standard which should be followed based on the fact how dominant CALDAV is but VJOURNAL is not CALDAV and is not same. The post goes in details about limitation and issues with VJOURNAL.
