Calendar apps should let individuals rename shared events for themselves, without renaming the event for all the invitees. If I have coffee with Sally, the same event should be named “Paul coffee” for Sally and “Sally coffee” for me.

Do any calendar clients out there do this? It seems so obvious. Am I just missing it?

@inthehands A lot of people are terrible at naming calendar events and the more people are involved the worse it sometimes gets.

Putting your own label on it would be great functionality, but I suspect caldav is a rather limited animal. Though I haven’t dared look into the format for sanity’s sake.

Speaking of sticking your own labels on things… Bluetooth. FFS. So many devices with names like the output of `pwgen` and no way of telling them apart.

@Tubemeister @inthehands it needn’t be part of the format. I believe they already have universal identifiers (not uuid, but still supposed to be unique). Client could have a local-only mapping
@jasonkarns @inthehands that’s going to suck in a multi device world though if my phone disagrees with my laptop. Which is probably why it’s not a thing. Not a common thing anyway.
@Tubemeister yep. Though there’s no reason that something like iCloud couldn’t sync that separately. But yeah

@jasonkarns There's that. They could. You could even suggest it at apple.com/feedback, though I've been sending them bugreports for most of a decade and certain things(*) still haven't been fixed.

(*) The "natural scrolling" toggle being one and the same between trackpad (on please) and mouse (OFFF please) despite being on different config panels. We hatesss it we do...

Bugs Apple won't fix. Why else would they keep them around for so long? We did the math.
