Our family has a bunch of people whose birthdays we need to keep track of. Those birthdays matter to everyone, so we would like to have one shared birthday calendar. The calendar should come with an android app that at least sends reminder notifications about birthdays.

What selfhosted solution are you using for this? What can you recommend?

Davx5 is just a bridge between calendar apps and dav providers. One calendar has this function built-in. Any issues showing content on the right time zone, etc would be in the client, not davx5.

I'm sorry yeah, not sure which calendar program it was, then. Perhaps it was Davx5 + another calendar program. I tried a few, and several had issues with full-day events. (the events themselves seemed fine in the ical)
