Importantly, since this is a Mozilla project, that service should be self-hostable [1] to disintermediate the multi-device synchronization platform. It should not be necessary to have a third-party observe all my contacts and calendars.

- cs702 9y agoIf Mozilla ever were to offer a paid calendar-and-contacts online service, powered by open-source code, and backed with strong customer/data/privacy protections, I would sign up.
- nathcd 9y agoNo need for Mozilla to make server software for this; Thunderbird/Lightning do CalDav and CardDav just fine, right? Seems that cs702's problem isn't with Thunderbird, it's with Google supporting CalDav and CardDav for sync. If you want to self host, just host any CalDav or CardDav server software.
- oconnore 9y agoThunderbird does not support carddav. Contacts + Thunderbird is generally a terrible experience. I switched to Zoho’s webmail because of this (at least I can get bidirectional sync to my iPhone).
- XorNot 9y agoA Mozilla stack for contacts/calendar like Firefox sync would be amazing.
- bigbugbag 9y agoSince this is a mozilla project it should buy a proprietary service for an undisclosed amount of money and force it down the throat of everybody with no option to self host (pocket). And this should happen to avoid using an already available open source project that works well and you can self host (wallabag).
