What libraries does your Contacts app use under the hood? I'm asking because pretty much every contacts app I've tried had countless bugs – either in CardDav or the vCard part (when importing/exporting) or both.
It's likely this will have bugs for the weirdest things, and where I'd appreciate help as long as it's not making things too slow/heavy. It's currently very naive and simple and using https://deno.land/x/xml@2.1.3 for some minor parsing in some of the requests; I drew the line to stop supporting fields and actions as soon as it worked perfectly for me and my wife (Linux and Android + macOS and iOS).
That being said, here's the function to build a vCard: https://github.com/bewcloud/bewcloud/blob/b81710a720d7d6afc2...

My experience with DAV in general is that there are enough inconsistencies between clients that it's hard to support everyone properly. To be fair, that was well over a decade ago, maybe things are better now -- but it's the sort of spec where it makes sense to put effort into reusable libraries, to amortise the effort across multiple projects.
On the other hand, if you're enjoying yourself then great :). I'm looking forward to seeing what the project evolves into.

Oh, I had some pain with Gnome and iOS already! DavX5 (Android) was pretty easy to debug and "tell me" what was wrong.

Exactly. I don't need bewCloud to replace Nextcloud or ownCloud for everyone, but as long as it does it for me and my family, it's cool. If others benefit, even better!
