I'm slowly discovering all the nice stuff in #GNOME46 that other #gnome devs have been working on.
My personal favorite so far are the generic Cal/Card/WebDav accounts, for several reasons.
First of all, I use CalDav and CardDav extensively, both personally and at work. Especially my contacts are something that I on one side want to be available on all my devices - and on the other side really want to have control over. I.e. I only want that data on providers I trust.
On my phone - which is not yet a #linuxmobile one - I use the fabulous #davx5, while on my desktops the only real option for me was #Thunderbird
And while that is fine, trying using a Gnome Online Account suddenly showed me what I've been missing out so far, which is not only great native apps like #gnomecalendar , but also #gnomeshell integration, global search providers etc.
Until now - around two weeks - the experience has been awesome and it's definitely changing the way I use Gnome.
Another native app I find myself using more and more is #gnomemaps
Just because it started to be the most efficient way for me to look things - usually a bicycle route. I.e. its increasingly convincing me by utility, not by the additional reason of better privacy etc.
I should probably add that it actually is a clear goal of mine to use native apps more and more (again) for various reasons - one big one being that it's important for #LinuxMobile - and, well, I'd say its going great :)

For #GNOMECalendar, I've been doing a lot of work into troubleshooting (and to an extent, bugfixing to make the UI less confusing/misleading) the built-in webdav/caldav handling even without GOA in the picture, but my UI fixes haven't landed yet. My general tracking issue for webdav/caldav is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/issues/679
We'd love to have help on the remaining open issues that don't already have a MR 🙂
