Dedicated Calendar app for Thunderbird mobile (Lightning app)

[usbee]

Currently Thunderbird Mobile only serves as an e-mail client and it is perfectly fine. I'd suggest that instead of having an all in one app, like the Fastmail app, main features, like calendar should have a dedicated app. In practice that would mean a new, standalone calendar app from Thunderbird which could bear the Lightning brand since there were a calendar add on for Tunderbird many years ago with the same name.

It could have an icon based on the old Sunbird icon but with the same style as the current Thunderbird icon.

It would be really nice if that would be a thing for the arrival of Thundermail which will have a calendar service, and even Appointments feature could have a place in this app too.

Also on Android de-Googling isn't an easy task since Android phones relies on Google apps heavily. Using Google Calendar for Thundermail would defeat the whole purpose of avoiding Google by using Thundermail.

Yes, there is Fossify and other apps exists too, but Thunderbird Lightning could bring a better UX than these apps.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

I would also love to see this feature! As i believe it would be much better then the current alternatives which appear to mainly be Tuta Calendar and Proton Calendar according to places like the PrivacyGuides website which literally just shows Proton and Tuta Calendar as of right now, when I believe a Thunderbird Calendar app would smoke both of them out of the water! I would say more but the original post basically took the words right out of my mouth so there's no point rambling on the same talking points.

TLDR I would love to see this be made a reality and then it could take it's rightful throne on places like PrivacyGuides.org and PrivacyPack.org since right now I'm using the Etar Calendar app which doesn't even have a dedicated local import export calendar function!

Kind Regards,

P.S thanks for all the hard work on the Thunderbird Email client for Android if any of the dev team for the android app read this.
