Agenda plugin: a Google Calendar frame — worth having?

[vittop89]

I have a working Agenda plugin on a branch of my fork: a frame showing a Google Calendar, in list, day, three-day, week or month layouts, with events editable from the frame itself.

I am not proposing it — I am asking whether it belongs in Desktop Frames + at all.

One thing is worth raising up front, because it is a commitment rather than a detail: an OAuth application belongs to somebody. In my fork the Google client is mine. Shipped with Desktop Frames +, the consent screen would carry your project's name and the quota would be yours — and past a hundred users, Calendar being a sensitive scope, Google asks for verification. Not wanting that is a fair answer, and there are lighter arrangements if the idea appeals but that part does not.

Everything else — the dependency it adds, the permissions it asks for, how it stays in sync — I am happy to go through in as much detail as you want.

Branch: vittop89/DesktopFramesPlus → google-calendar-plugin, if you would rather just look.

"Not for this project" is a perfectly good answer.

I cannot get the plugin to work.
The banch code has the "Google" buttons disabled

Am I missing something here?
Can you please check?

Thanks for trying it — you weren't missing anything, it was my mistake.

The plugin needs a Google OAuth client (a JSON from Google Cloud Console), and I had only ever added mine by hand — so the app gave you no way to add one.

Fixed on the branch: the Agenda frame now has Choose Google client file… and a Setup guide with a direct link for each step (free, ~10 min).

Or, to skip that: tell me which Google account you'll test with — I'll add it as a test user and send you my client file privately.

Still missing, coming soon:

• click an empty slot in the grid to create an event there (or a task);
• every task with a time shown at its hour — a few still land in the all-day row — and past tasks visible;
• a colour per task list;
• the grid spanning the whole day, 00:00–24:00.
