Apps On The Move

# Description

it would be great to publish the calendar items (which come from beorg) into a publich internet calendar via a public "ics" file (optional in addition html).

# Use case

(1) share my agenda with my wife (which I currently do for my outlook calendar) - note that title and content of "private" meetings are not shared (some things are confidential)

(2) share the agenda into the iOS calendar app, by subscribing to the beorg shared calendar

# I would like to use both use cases (1), (2).

And I think it would make it even more useful as you can now interact with other apps which can read "ics" files and become more open.

# Implementation

The ics/html file needs to be published in the internet, i.e., someone needs to host the file.

I think (besides using a hosting service) is just to store the file besides the org files somewhere.

One can easily pick up that file and put it at the right place (E.g.: via working copy into git and you configure your webserver to reference git).

Thanks & I am interested in your feedback,

Jonathan

PS. Maybe there is a different way of covering the uses cases (1) and (2)? But having a public shared calendar would be cool anyhow :)

I just want to add that I found some discussion for org-mode in general:

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html

So there is an export method from org-mode which is possible to use.

So I guess an alternative is to run this somewhere on a server with your custom scripts once you synced the beorg files onto a server, but this sounds all a bit inconvenient.

See here some discussion on generic org-mode to ics calendar:

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-google-sync.html

I guess this is possible to do everything on server side once you synced the org files, but it feels pretty inconvinient.

Good idea with the search - I guess the idea is then to use the result of the search in another app (or use some scripting) in order to process it further.

=> I will think how I can do the "process it further" step.

Also totally agree that collaboration/sharing is a key point and would be a killer feature for beorg.

At the moment I use other cloud apps to collaborate on common lists with my wife.

In beorg I sync icloud files into a git repository (using App Working Copy) - the problem with this sync process is for rather advanced users, also in principle it could be used for sharing (I think my wife would not like to do regular commits and resolve conflicts).

Also the git repository contains everything - but I would only selectivley like to share some lists/projects with other users.

So not obvious to me how to do the collaboration with org mode and git syncing in easy fashion and  non-advanced users.

Maybe some server side ("cloud") service would be required?
