The best intro/wtf link is the slides: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download/remind-oclug.pdf tldr: REM Dec 25 MSG It's Christmas! (...and then a bunch of other fanciness inclusive of being able to put "MSG Your [$MATH] Birthday is this [$MATHDAY]!")

Hey I'm curious on how your reminder app works and to what effects, if you're willing to share. I'm on iteration 3 already of my reminder app, also vibe coded, and it helps me a lot. My first one was inspired on Remind [0]. 0: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

Own domains is the real deal. My preffered model is tarball releases with checksums, or better yet, with signatures (like remind[0] or msmtp[1]). Such pages are trivial to host properly and loads quickly. [0]: https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ [1]: https://marlam.de/msmtp/download/

Have you looked into remind[0] while working on this? There might be value in checking that out. Personally I haven't used it in years, but the latest release is from this year so it seems active. ---- [0] https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

I use remind[1] with wyrd. I have a wyrd template to create reminders that will keep moving to the next (week)day, e.g. REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri SCANFROM [float(2024,10,21)] AT 08:45 MSG %"Complete that thing%"% where float is: FSET float(y,m,d) trigger(MAX(realtoday(), date(y,m,d))) When I finish it, I delete it, or replace the floating date with the actual date if I want to keep track of when I completed it. https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

"Remind" calendar has been a daily driver for me for the better part of a decade, you might find some inspiration there? I could see these two things working well together? https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

people discussing various other scheduling things - there is also 'remind': https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ which is very flexible, unfortunately it hasn't really made it into the 'canon'

The "remind" program has a pretty well-developed DSL to represent dates and recurring schedules, with backends to produce postscript/html/etc calendars. https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ It's available already-packaged in most mainstream distros I know of.

Thanks for reply and for have shared your project first! > I think we can refresh some the things that make it powerful with a fresh coat of paint, to make it more accessible to a “younger generation.” That's what scare me, again in general: I see regular small complaint of modern absurdity, posts like: - https://tiramisu.bearblog.dev/your-desktop-is-not-a-destination/ | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33838697 - https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/61535.html - https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2022/02/07/epitaph-to-laptops/ - https://rsapkf.org/weblog/q2z/ - https://tomcritchlow.com/2022/04/21/new-rss/ - https://jfm.carcosa.net/blog/computing/usenet/ | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33510169 - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28363453 - https://github.com/akkartik/teliva - https://akiflow.com/ - https://onezero.medium.com/the-document-metaphor-desktop-gui-doesnt-wo… - https://den.dev/blog/user-hostile-software/ - https://www.charlieharrington.com/smart-phone-dumb-terminal/ - https://mattmower.com/2021/08/02/what-we-lost/ and COUNTLESS others, similarly many "new stuff"/innovations appear and are actually partial, limited and limiting solutions to problems already solved decades ago in a more broad and superior way. Emacs itself is a bit horrific in the sense that it's codebase is hard to be kept up by modern developers who have troubles knowing it, but at least represent the classic…
