Save Events from other Apps in Proton Calandar
Many apps e.g. train apps such as DB allow me to save events to my calendars. If I click on it a list of my calanders is shown e.g. Apples and Googles. It would be nice if I could select the Proton Calender here as well.
I have the feeling this only works if the calender is part of an added account, which I can not do for Proton.

Same on iOS. You cannot add events from other apps in the calendar, because the Proton Calendar is not a calendar you added or integrated in the operating system (iOS or Android).
This is probably the single feature stopping me to fully migrate to Proton Calendar. I have medical apps where my doctor bookings are done and confirmed within an app - they allow the "add to calendar" feature but no way to add to Proton.
So I also need to have an Apple Calendar, suscribe to it in the Proton Calendar app and then it will show.
I think that Proton could integrate something like this - an ics "temporary" calendar that can be integrated into the OS, the event gets added there, this gets uploaded to the Proton servers, encrypted and downloaded into your app and deleted from the "temporary" ics calendar.
Not as secure because the information from your device to the Proton servers would not be encrypted, but anyway it would be deleted really fast and the you'll have everything into Proton calendar.
Not sure if something like this is possible.

I frequently use the VMT App (de.hafas.android.vmt) and would really appreciate if I was able to save connections in public transportation directly to my Proton Calendar app on Android. It works to share connections as events to other calendar apps. (My current workaround for important connections: Share to another calendar app, export the event as an ICS file and import the file into the Proton Calendar app.)
I think this is alread mentioned in https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/932842-proton-calendar/suggestions/48078104-android-s-calendar-api-integration, but I want to vote for this as an isolated feature.
