Hi,

Diarium has a lot of things done right 🙂 One of the unique features is the ability to download additional data when opening a note. I believe this is a big strength of Diarium.
It is no surprise to me that there is a limit on how many integrations can be supported - vide Garmin thread.

Can I propose to add single integration aimed a little bit more at developers? What would happen if users/developers could implement a server according to the standards defined in Diarium?
The idea is that it is up to the user to host the server (cloud, raspberry pi etc) and/or implement it.

I am guessing a contract can be relatively straightforward (for illustration purposes mostly).
Single controller/query:

GET /data_for_diarium/2021/06/15

with return similar to:

[
   {
      "type": "event",
      "icon": "uri...",
      "color": "red",
      "text": "Balance: $50k"
   },
   {
      "type": "event",
      "icon": "uri...",
      "color": "blue",
      "text": "mail from X"
   },
   {
      "type": "event",
      "icon": "uri...",
      "color": "blue",
      "text": "Readwise highlight"
   },
   {
      "type": "photo",
      "thumbnail": "uri...",
      "full": "uri..."
   },
   {
      "type": "photo",
      "thumbnail": "uri...",
      "full": "uri..."
   },
   {
      "type": "photo",
      "thumbnail": "uri...",
      "full": "uri..."
   }
]

Please treat this as an example only - not a proposed solution 🙂

The benefits I see:

should be relatively cheap to implement on Diarium side
allows to show more "private data" unavailable in the internet, but sometimes relevant to diaries
opens Diarium to many more sources - ie. Garmin or whatever single person might need

My situation: having lots of photos on NAS not necessarily shot by mobile. I understand Google Photos might be implemented, but there is so many ways to store photos... And photos are so relevant to memories 😉

Diarium version: 2.17.2.0
