Although I have to confess that from my point of view it has arrived a bit late, one of the applications that I liked the most of the last to arrive in Ubuntu (by default) is GNOME-Calendar. And if my impression was good at first, Georges Stavracas has taken it upon himself to promise that things will get even better in the coming weeks thanks to new features they plan to add.
Among these novelties, we can highlight a new sidebar very similar to the one used in Fantastical 2 that will allow us, for example, to use several calendars. According to Stavracas, this sidebar will be able to be hidden in a similar way to how the Nautilus sidebar can be hidden. But, logically, a "simple" sidebar is not enough to talk about the next GNOME Calenar news as something important.
GNOME Calendar will include a new weekly view
The current version of GNOME Calendar only allows us to see the days as a wall calendar, that is, the whole month, but its developers plan to include the weekly view. On the other hand, the possibility of adding support to add and list entries to events is also on the table, for which it would take the information from GNOME Contacts.
Users who are testing the new version of GNOME Calendar say that there are still parts that need improvement, but they are generally quite satisfied with the application. And it is that, as I said at the beginning of post, these news may come a little late, especially if we take into account that Windows and Mac have always had a great calendar application installed by default.
Based on everything you've read, it looks like Ubuntu will finally have the calendar app that one of the most popular Linux-based operating systems on the planet deserves. The question is: will it end up convincing us and will we use it as the default application to record our appointments in Ubuntu?
