Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! So, I have Proton Mail, and this also gives me the Calendar. I love that I have a encrypted private calendar, but it bothers me that it doesn’t play well with any other app, as it’s not officially a “calendar” to Android. This bothers me, because I use GrapheneOS, with mostly no Google services, and I'd like my Gadgetbridge-connected smartwatch to be able to display calendar events, since they're not being shared with anyone else. But I can't, because Proton Calendar isn't really an Android Calendar. There’s a way in Proton to permanently share a link to your private calendar. In effect, it’s an up-to-date .ics file, that I believe needs to be checked/downloaded every time there’s an update. Is there a way to update this in Proton? Alternatively, I wouldn’t mind creating some caldav system that imported this, but not sure if there’s already any guide for it?

Thanks so much!

That's odd. I hate closed eco systems.

It's not that it's closed, it's more that none of the exiting email protocols support a server which can't read your email (as it's all encrypted). They do offer Proton Bridge which you can run locally which will handle all the decryption and local mail clients can talk to that as the would any other mail server.

I don't know off hand if it supports calendar syncing though.

Nope, not yet. Also very demanded by the users, but nothing released on that end yet.

While they're reinventing the wheel at every step, the default email protocols involve your email being unencrypted at every hop until it reaches destination. While their solution in effect also has the same issue, they allow for sending encrypted emails you can only open by clicking on a link to decrypt them, or similar. And everything at their end is fully encrypted, which is why i bought in...But its getting old at how everything is a closed ecosystem not playing nice with anything else in any OS.
