Contacts: Sharing single contacts and events

[PackElend]

I posting as suggest on the nextcloud forum in my thread Sharing single contacts and events by @MariusBluem.

I'm sick and tired setting up endless adress bocks and calendar,depending with whom I going to share it with (wife, familly, friend, wokr, etc)
I would super happy if I could share single contacts and event with multiple nextcloud user.
Nextcloud has those features _in-house_ so imho there isn't any extra programming necessary, isn't it?
All what would be necessary is to integrate nextcloud's sharing algorithm into contacts and calendar apps or do I miss some obstacles?

I wouldn't mind to help dev as far as I can.

Should this be implemented? @nextcloud/contacts 🤔

I don't have the single clue on how this could be implemented or not. :/

Maybe just by sharing the vCard as a single file via Nextcloud Files 🤔

I just had the exact same idea but haven't got the time posting it yet

There should be an hidden folder in each e.g. users home directory what stores all saved vCards. An additional algorithm reacts to event _contact changed event_. It proves if there is copy of that changed contact within this hidden folder; an unique ID per contact/vCard would be helpful if it isn't a standard in CardDAV for each contact. If there is a match the vCard gets updated. Of course, it should go vice versa the same way.
Nextcloud will do the synchronizing between the different users, as usual.
All what it needs is a extra share button in the contacts app.
As soon as that is done you can focus how to integrate it in Android.

sounds like a plan?

I've just noticed that MS SharePoint allows setting permissions per user or group. This means if you implement my suggestion you can compare/compete with SharePoint in this regard
