Native WebDAV support

[KiralyCraft]

Feature Request

Add native WebDAV support to sleek without having to mount it within the filesystem first.

What problem does it solve?

It allows sleek to function as a "frontend" to a WebDAV server where a todo.txt file is stored. While this behaviour is currenty possible using system mounts, it relies on the implementation of WebDAV at the system level, as well as the logic for handling sync conflicts and locks.

Impact on the interface

It would allow sleek to function more or less independently of the functionalities available in the system, and would eliminate the need of mounting the DAV share separately.

I have every time a sync conflict. (sync with nextcloud)

@KiralyCraft @42web-ch I don't intend to work on this to be honest and it is good to manage expectations here. But sleek is a complete FOSS project, open for contributions.

It is a long shot, but it might help, if it works.

Thank you for clarifying this. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try Sleek extensively and I didn't find the time to integrate it into my to-do routine. For this reason, I couldn't tell how syncing behaves and how often issues arise.

Nevertheless, I still have this particular project on my agenda, and I would gladly help with a pull request, once I find the time to investigate this some more. Unfortunately, I'm not particularly familiar with TypeScript, but I hope our LLM friend might be able to teach me in a reasonable amount of time.

I will keep this issue open for now, in the event that somebody else could tackle this task sooner.
