I completely agree with userabc.
I was in the exact same position — genuinely motivated to leave Google behind, ready to move my whole family over. But the lack of CalDAV isn't a minor inconvenience, it's a dealbreaker: I need to see and edit all my calendars (personal and work) merged into one app, and without that I simply can't function day to day.
I get the encryption argument, but that's a trade-off I should be allowed to make myself. Put a big warning in front of it if you're worried about liability, but let the people who value integration over that specific protection choose. Right now Proton is deciding for us instead of letting us decide for ourselves.
Eleven years is a long time for a request to sit unanswered. At this point it's hard to stay hopeful this will ever ship — and until it does, this alone is enough to keep me on Google, which is exactly the outcome none of us wanted.

I agree. This is very annoying, and I sometimes miss Google Calendar because of these tiny UI flaws. :(

Agreed — this is a basic feature that shouldn't still be missing. I've got hundreds of contacts imported with birthdays already filled in, and none of it shows up in the calendar. Right now I have to manually recreate every single one as a recurring event, which defeats the whole purpose of storing the date in Contacts in the first place.
While I'm at it, a few other things feel critical too: event colors (right now everything blends together, and colors are one of the main ways I visually scan a busy week), some basic display settings — a compact mode, and smaller/adjustable event labels, since right now the text is so large that most events only show a couple of letters before getting cut off — and multi-day events, which are still shown as separate entries instead of one continuous bar across the days, making anything longer than a single day hard to read at a glance.
Beyond the calendar itself, the lack of CardDAV support for Contacts is a much bigger blocker for me. Without it, I can't get a real two-way sync between Proton Contacts and the other apps and devices I actually use day to day, which makes it impossible to keep one consolidated, editable address book — and that's a big part of why birthdays never make it into the calendar in the first place.
Like others here, these are close to blockers for making the whole Proton suite my daily driver, not just Calendar. I'm genuinely happy to become a paying Proton subscriber and support what you're building — I'd jump on it as soon as these points are addressed.
