This is cool. Working on something similar.

I was wondering, are the tasks/notes/calendars/contacts all in your own system? Or can they be bridged using open protocols like CalDAV/CardDAV/iCal?

My current approach for building something like this is to build only the processing/dashboard side, and keep using Todoist for storing tasks, Google Calendar for calendars etc, and then piece by piece migrate to fully self-hosted solutions like Owncloud/Nextcloud that provide standard protocol based storage.

The main reason for my approach is that I do not want to implement Todo/Calendar/etc from scratch with UI's for every platform. Todoist works fine (and other open source CalDAV apps too), same with Google Calendar, so I want to get up and running using those apps on my phone, but still track the combined data in my own system.

All the task, pretty much everything is saved in the system.
