from all of my shown calendars, what's coming up?

will have to log in to nextcloud (as me) - you can webdav, but I think caldav can't tell if a calendar is "hidden".

new plan: no it doesn't have to log in as me. Share calendars with a nextcloud "reporter" account.

ok check it, I have a genius plan (maybe). if an event has a reminder (which hopefully comes across when shared through nextcloud), whether it shows up on the report is if: that reminder will go off today, or, if today is twice as far away from that day.

also there's a way to set email reminder and notification - might as well co-opt email reminder to be the newsletter reminder

ok new plan:

I'd like to figure out a formula to decide when to remind myself.

even betterer plan: have the journalist actually log in as myself, too, to read more info from events/etc. then it just has to figure out which are shared with the Journalist account.

sort of absurd. But it's that or modify nextcloud code.

current (known) caldav solutions suck.
https://github.com/skazantsev/WebDavClient - is merely a webdav client - caldav needs features it doesn't have
https://github.com/markatk/CalDAV.NET - breaks looking for some other library (tbf, doesn't purport to support net7)
https://stackoverflow.com/a/19824578/1173856 - $350

the path forward is probably one of:

switch languages to search for a good caldav solution
manually do the HTTP requests, which would make it easier to...
maintain my own fork of WebDavClient - fork skazantsev's work as markatk started
configure each calendar manually, rather than via sharing. this is what was done for silver meddlists' Director
do some kind of computer-vision-web-browser-manipulation madness
