The Age badge was already there — config:recommended pulls in mergeConfidence:age-confidence-badges — it just rendered as a grey UNKNOWN. Fetching the badge SVGs from developer.mend.io directly shows why: Mend's Merge Confidence index covers Maven Central (truth 2y, junit-jupiter 1y, kotlin-stdlib 1y / confidence high / passing 99%) but has nothing for anything served off Google's Maven repo, so every androidx and compose coordinate comes back UNKNOWN. That's the bulk of this project, and no token changes it — the JSON API behind the badges answers 401 for everyone, npm included. So take the age from the one place that does know. Renovate derives release timestamps itself to evaluate minimumReleaseAge, and Google Maven serves last-modified on its POMs, so newVersionAgeInDays is populated where Mend is blank. Redefining the column costs one template and makes the number agree with the cooling-off tiers it's read against. Mend keeps the Confidence column, which still resolves for the Maven Central half — Kotlin, Gradle, AGP, the test stack — and those are the bumps where a compatibility signal is worth having. Dropped the all-badges preset added in the previous commit: Adoption and Passing have the same Google Maven gap, so they'd have been two more empty columns. A trailing packageRule pins the same column set for every PR, including the Gradle wrapper and Actions bumps that Mend's preset never touched and which showed no age at all.

Calendula
A modern Material 3 Expressive calendar for Android.
Reads, writes, and reminds — on top of the system calendar, with zero network access.
Calendula is named after the flower whose name — like the word calendar —
comes from the Latin kalendae, the first day of the month. It lives
entirely on top of Android's CalendarContract: any calendar synced to your
device (CalDAV via DAVx5, Google, local, WebCal subscriptions, …) simply
appears, and everything you create or edit syncs back the same way. No own
database, no sync stack reinvented.
✨ Features
Calendar
- Month, week, and day views with a one-tap view switcher
- Full event details — attendees and their responses, reminders, recurrence (humanized), availability, visibility, foreign time zones
- Per-calendar visibility toggle, grouped by account
Editing
- Create, edit, and delete events — including recurring events with scoped writes: only this event, this and all following, or the whole series
- Recurrence picker with one-tap presets and custom rules (interval, weekday toggles, end conditions); rules it can't express are preserved verbatim
- Conflict-safe saves: if an event changed elsewhere while you were editing, Calendula asks instead of silently overwriting
- Read-only calendars (WebCal, birthdays) are detected and respected
Reminders
- Event reminders delivered by Calendula itself as notifications — essential when it's your only calendar app, since Android delegates reminder delivery to calendar apps
- Tap a reminder to land on the event
Design & privacy
- Real Material 3 Expressive throughout — dynamic color (Android 12+), expressive motion and shapes, light/dark theme
- German and English UI, per-app language setting — and open to community translations
- Zero telemetry, zero analytics, no internet permission — your data never leaves the device
