For those interested, there is new standalone desktop version of Bloben for Linux and Windows built with Electron. macOS is not provided, as I don't have Mac and I think they have many better apps.

Be aware that it might have more bugs and in current state it is more for testing and preview.

Links are here https://bloben.com/download

Function wise, it is basically merged client + server without some specific features like calendar sharing. After some necessary adjustments, future development will be mostly same for self hosted and desktop app as they both share same core.

Why?
I think there are some people who don't want/need self hosted version and calendar client like this might be suitable. Pure web client will be great, but it would limit many features, which Electron can provide. More about architecture differences here https://bloben.com/about

What's next?
If you are willing to help, I would really appreciate testing either desktop or self hosted version.

For docker image, you will need to download staging or development build:
image: 'bloben/app:staging'
image: 'bloben/app:development'

But please, do it only after consideration, that there is bigger risk of possible problems than usual.
