ReCalendar supports loading any ICS file - but since you ultimately generate a PDF for the whole year, it will just load the events present at that moment in the calendar (see https://github.com/klimeryk/recalendar.js/issues/11#issuecom...). So it's good for quickly loading all the holidays in a given country or if you have some long-term recurring events. But it's not feasible to keep on syncing the calendar every day.

Self-plug: I created https://recalendar.me/ (open-source and always free) to solve this from a different perspective. It allows creating highly customized PDF calendars for e-ink tablets like ReMarkable. This gives you the "sketchy" part, making it more natural to input, doodle, make notes. But extensively utilize PDF links to make it easy to navigate the calendar. Plus other features, like pre-filling anniversaries/birthdays, custom templates per day, week, month, etc. to make it yours, fitting your particular needs. For example, I added an extra page after each Thursday, cause I always had some notes after therapy session then.

Unfortunately, something that's fundamentally hard to do with this approach is having a dynamic sync with an online calendar. That's because ultimately it's a PDF, with some device-specific layer with writing on top of it.

But in some ways, it could be seen as feature - I find it useful to copy "manually" the events to my ReCalendar. That automatically makes me reflect on them or just help me remember they're happening!

Of course, YMMV, good to have different options!

Love that! Not many folks will notice, but those that do, it will make their day (or make their skin crawl). Speaking of which, there's two or three Easter Eggs in this app as well :)

Hah, appreciate it! It's been indeed quite a ride (and it seems the CEO is not stopping). Glad for the offer, it was the very last nudge I needed.
