That would be my dream.

This would be a pretty reasonable comprise in my opinion. Works like mail bridge (maybe calendar could get some love too?) And everyone is happy.

Calendar colors just launched on proton calendar. Still not quite a full outlook calendar replacement, but the individual color choice for events is one step there.

I’d agree that Avalonia has come a long way in a short time. It has a lot of potential, but there aren’t a lot of UI control libraries available yet.

I’m using it for a personal project and it’s very good for cross platform consistency. The trouble is that building a good looking UI is still difficult. Some of that is my lack of knowledge, but some is lack of available docs, examples, and community.

Here’s hoping they keep growing those things and become a viable alternative.

There aren’t any great cross platform UI frameworks for .net. There are a few out there, but they are not as robust as what you can do with stuffing a react app into electron.

I would prefer they add caldev and carddev to the bridge app so thunderbird can have access to calendar and contacts. I feel that would be better setup for power users, but the integrated desktop app helps normies adopt.
