Open source CAD software is basically useless. As someone who has tried every few years to use open source alternatives for personal projects, I always end up paying for an AutoCAD or Fusion 360 license.
My professional background has always been higher end software like Siemens NX, Solidworks, Inventor, & AutoCAD.
LibreCAD is the closest I ever got to something that seemed useful for 2D. I hate FreeCAD, QCAD, BRL-CAD, etc. Many open source projects waste so much time to do simple tasks and buck standard methodologies for their own spin on how they think you should design.
Opensource works best when there’s demand and a lot of people mostly developers want that software. For CAD it’s just that not much people need it and those who need it are rarely also developers.
From your post I’m not 100% sure what your problem is, but if it is synchronisation with the host you can try DAVx5 for that. It’s also on the Play Store but costs money there, on F-Droid it’s free. It’s able to synch Nextcloud tasks.
what? no, I am using davx5, I am syncing my calendars.
but calendars that are synced don’t show their tasks in fossify calendar.
and my problem with dav is the servers and their administration. ever tried sharing a calendar in radicale (not supported) or baikal (annoyingly confusing and undocumented)?
Oh ok. Well I’m using Nextcloud-Davx5-Google Calendar/Tasks. And that works for the tasks (through Davx5, I see one normal calendar and one for tasks).
Running a Nextcloud just for tasks/calendar/contacts is possible and should be relatively easy and resource insensitive depending on how you set it up. Sharing through CalDAV/CardDAV with apps is well documented.
But it kind of sounds like the problem might be fossify calendar if you have the tasks in radicale/baikal.
Is it? I pretty much only use open source stuff and all other proprietary alternatives I know are shitty

I’ve been using Blender and Freecad which has a bit of a learning curve. Heck, I’m still learning
(Android) Calendars.
fossify calendar is somewhat great, but it doesn’t have support for tasks (except in its own calendars that can’t be synced)
And don’t get me started on CalDav and trying to selfhost it. Baikal, Radicale.
Actually I think CalDav is the source of all of our problems. At least everyone I know won’t touch it with a 2-meter pole.
And the reason why proprietary Calendars are so much better.

Oh I use proton calendar, which is kind of open source but idk if the server is.
