When a family member shares a calendar with me, why do I inherit to their reminder notifications? I don’t need to be notified that it’s “time to go” to an event I’m not attending (but it’s helpful for me to know what my people are up to on a given night)

But this only works when they send it directly to the protonmail dot com address, not the aliases like pm dot me or proton dot me.

Almost everyone I know uses Gmail. But I use proton mail. But I use my proton mail email address to create a Google account, which supports calendar. So when someone sends me a calendar invite to my protonmail address, it shows up in my Google Calendar.

Cool! But also, what?

When the business logic is tightly coupled with the UI layer (which is true for most UIKit MVC and MVVM apps), then you can’t switch to another UI framework without re-writing 90% of the app.

Transitioning from UIKit to SwiftUI is hard enough. It is so much more complicated than “slapping a different UI on”.

And this is how I find out that Justice has a new album I haven’t heard yet 🙈
(What a great album, though!)
