Pimalaya is an ambitious project that aims to improve open-source tools related to Personal Information Management (as known as PIM) which includes emails, contacts, calendars, tasks and more.
Pimalaya has two objectives:
- Provide I/O-free Rust libraries dedicated to the PIM domain. They serve as a basis for all sorts of top-level applications, which prevents developers to reinvent the wheel.
- Provide quality house-made applications built on top of these libraries, gathered into projects.
