How are you handling reminders? Calendars and Tasks you need to remember. (lemmy.world)

I've been continuing to rely on

  • Lightning calendars for Thunderbird
    • Reminders are locally set in Thunderbird
  • CalDAV from Nextcloud Calendar
    • Not really sure of how to handle reminders in Calendar itself
  • Fossify Calendar for Android, from F-droid
    • Supports adding a reminder to a CalDAV event and to set an event as recurring
  • Tasks oscillate between Nextcloud Tasks, Deck and Kanboard
    • Kanboard is complex, but far better featured than Tasks or Deck, so I prefer it. Still struggling managing too many tasks on Kanboard because of the interface, but once an item is added it works well.
  • Markdown, is a way I find myself adding tasks using - [ ] syntax, but these are not visible in Thunderbird, etc. so not totally helpful. :(

Thunderbird integrates into Knotifications in KDE and does give me nice, annoying alarms. Would love to explore other solutions, but this one has been okay for the last years. Wondering if this longtime setup could be refined or replaced. Cheers, and thanks for any suggestions!

I think this might be more of a selfhosting question, so maybe better for that sub.

I use Proton for business since it runs on everything. Zero issues.

I'm doing this off mostly hosted, so was hoping there are tools I've missing out on. Sounds like others here are using the same tools as me. 🤷
