trafficstars

Description

• Adds universal iCal app
• Copy improvements over Google Calendar app
• Adds flashing warning for meeting as attention grabber when meeting is <=5 mins from start.
• All .ics files adhering to rfc2445 and with standard timezones e.g. America/Chicago will work.
• .ics files which are sharable from services like Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange
• Supports settings for different formatting of dates
• Backend is https://github.com/quesurifn/ics-calendar-tidbyt-lambda

Limitations:

Microsoft uses a different format for dates. Currently only US timezones are supported for Microsoft Exchange. Feel free to PR https://github.com/quesurifn/ics-calendar-tidbyt-lambda to add other overrides.

Note: App uses modified Google Calendar app boilerplate with custom backend to parse ics files deployed to lambda.

Hey @matslina Just curious how long it is going to take to publish this. I'm really dying to use it on my Tidbyt. It's the missing experience and the reason why I bought this thing.

@matslina Any update here?

Hey there, thanks for the PR, and apologies for the delayed response. We're heads down on Tidbyt Gen 2 right now, and community PRs unfortunately suffer as a consequence. =(
