Christina WarrenPSA for anyone who uses Gmail but wants a good native Mac app, Mimestream is finally out of beta an 1.0 launched! Yah, it is subscription, no, I dont care! Easiest $30 I’ve spent on software in ages! If you use Gmail for work, especially, this is my favorite way of using it and it is a terrific Mac app. Totally with the $30/$50 a year for me personally. https://mimestream.com/blog/mimestream-launches
Robert Atkins@film_girl Apologies for piggybacking on this thread to ask if anyone knows how to get Google Calendar to integrate properly with the native iOS and macOS calendar apps: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/422611/google-calendar-via-calendar-app-is-a-usable-experience-possible (I’m using Fantastical but it’s way overkill for what I need, which is just the basic features of the native apps to… work.)
@ratkins literally I use Fantastical for exactly this. BusyCal was a good alternative I used to use years ago for something similar!
@film_girl *sigh*. What I’d really love is a proxy service I could auth to that translated WebDAV into whatever GCal speaks and vice versa. I like the built-in apps!
@ratkins totally — that said, I’ve been using an alternative for like 15 years it feels like? I was big on busycal but then fantastical’s natural language stuff got me. I can have a passable experience for my personal google calendars in the native apps, but I can’t for corporate accounts. And with an exception for the time I was at Microsoft and not GitHub, I’ve had a google work account since like 2009, so I’ve had to make do with alternatives.
@film_girl Boils my piss that Google somehow doesn’t think it’s their job to make this work.
@ratkins I honestly don’t know whose fault it is. Some of it could very well be Apple because even Outlook calendar has difficulties and I know for a fact that Microsoft’s Mac/iOS team is very invested in trying to make things work well.
