I agree, and it should be a fairly simple one to implement: just a chronological list of events for the selected day.
For me, the important thing is to just be able to look at that list, it does not need to handle adding/modifying events, a read-only list is fine, that would make the calendar useful in practice.
Please go and file an issue, for example here: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/debs/gnome-calendar/-/issues
this is the right place to file an issue regarding the version of GNOME calendar that we ship with pureOS Byzantium.
O.k., thanks, I will do so!
I was looking with lsof to see where the Calendar app is storing the calendar entries in a file (to see, if I could add/delete entries with an editor vim for example). While this, I saw that the app is connecting with HTTPS other servers, here is what tcpdump shows:

Why is the app doing this? And where is this to be configured to avoid it?
Weather check, I guess?
whois says the IP-address belongs to Amazon. I guess the weather Service or whatever is hosted in their cloud.
What has weather to do with Calendar? If this can‘t be disabled I will deinstall this app. And this app should be marked as suspicious in the PureOS app store.
No, I did not. That‘s why I asked above. Thanks for your hint.
Some calendars include weather so you can plan your week and appointments better, I believe.
For me, the calendar app remains pretty much useless in practice since I can’t see today’s events, in the week view things get too small and there is no single day view, or smile list view.
What I need is some way to just show me “what are today’s events?”, something that the regular Calendar app seems unable to do so far.
I remember seeing somewhere that there was some kind of calendar widget for the lockscreen that did include a list view, but I can’t find it now. Is there something like that, or was I dreaming?
There is, in the latest version of phosh. You enable it in Mobile Settings, and it will show you upcoming events on the lock screen by a swipe from left to right.
Where, exactly? I can’t find it.
@tomoqv thanks, but I don’t seem to have a “Lockscreen” part in Settings.
How do you get to it, is it next to “Sound”, “Power”, “Displays”, and so on? Or is it like a submenu inside something else?
The phosh version I have is 0.22.0.
You are in the wrong settings. Search for “mobile” in the app switcher and it should show up if installed on your device. Or apt search phosh-mobile-settings to check if it is installed.
Aha, great, sudo apt install phosh-mobile-settings did the trick. Thanks @tomoqv
Now I have my upcoming calendar events available from the lockscreen. Most excellent.
Any chance the calendar will have invite capability? I use mine connected to my nextcloud server and would like the ability to send calendar invites from the phone, but it doesn’t look like it has a field to input contacts to send to.
I just would like to get that ‘Upcoming Events’ view from the lockscreen, as an app while I’m logged in. I long for a nice agenda view
