The lack of reminders with Gemini is crazy to me since it had to be the #1 use case for Google Assistant (it was basically all I used it for.

Not making the default any better, but Fossify Calendar from the F-Droid store is nice.
Not slop. Just because someone decided to generate a readme or accept generated code doesn't mean its slop.
The Fossify dev has been pretty clear that they review all the code that comes through before shipping it.
Hell, did you even read the link you posted?

Do you recommend some other FOSS calendar app then?
Damn it! I'm getting real tired of almost every single FOSS Android app getting heavily slopped. Browsing F-Droid is becoming an exercise in frustration.
You think the non-FOSS apps, such as google calendar, aren't getting slopped?
Some companies are more open about it, like Epic saying their employees should not write out any more code themselves. But I guarantee you that basically every corporate app out there contains lots of AI written code.
Not to defend AI usage, but just to say that you shouldn't stick with big corporate apps if it's slop you want to avoid.
Note, I'm not the same person who wrote the post, and I've been using as many open source apps as I can for a long time. I agree with you and I'm equally trying to avoid corporate apps. My comment was more a cry of frustration of that work becoming harder as the choices grow thinner.
I recently moved my entire calendar and contact list off Google servers to my Nextcloud instance, and sync that to my phone over CalDAV and CardDAV. It's quite cathartic.
What calendar are you talking about?
The Google calandar app. Weirdly the next appt I added was normal.
Why are you using that? Of course it's awful π€£
